Well its Thurday night on the ramp at Liverpool and the Hungarian Antonov 12 is just departing.
Dont know about you folks who have seen in the introduction of Europe wide noise bans for loud aircraft, but that aircraft seems to just take the peverbial.
How can an airport that is supposed to be environmental friendly allow an aircraft to operate at night with an APU that sounds like 4 conways at full chat!!
I am of the view that if you buy a house near an airport you shut expect a resonable level of noise but I honestly feel sorry for the nearby residents.
I am ex RAF and have put up with Tornados and the like so am not averse to the sound of freedom! But hey....if you are going to charter in someone to cover the demise of Emerald, then at least find someone who complies with the rules and regs.
Ask anyone on the ramp at LPL what they think and you will no doubt get the same answer. Its a nightmare!
Come on Mr. CAA........do your job and sort it.
Coop & my ears are ringing Bear
