You are indeed correct Shy Torque. The most vociferous objector to helicopter noise in South Nutfield was a retired Admiral (Sea Lord?) resident in the village.
The second most vociferous was a senior member of the management of the company operating there, also resident in the village, who would anonymously call the tower and complain EVERY time the training school pilots were night flying in the 47's. He figured (quite correctly as it turned out) that by calling EVERY time they were night flying that they would stay away from the village and he wouldn't have to deal with the fall out the next day at work!
Quite a clever strategy actually!
