I think you have a hell of a cheek . The NIMBYs as you call them have always known there is an airport in Farnborough and most people supported its transition from Quasi military to a bix jeyt airfield as a better and more acceptable use of the land than a housing estate or warehouse complex.

The owners TAG committed at the time theywere given permission to buy and operate the airfireld , to a limit on aircraft movements but of course they are now getting greedy and want to increase it. It was a deal done failrly and squarly not long back and TAG now want to bend the rules soa few rich people can travel at more conventient times to the inconvenience of a fair minded and generally pro aviation local polulace. So please, pilot .aviation professional or not ignore this request and let the people of the Farnborough are a decde on the matter .

For my part I live several miles north of EGLF and it doesnt affect me one way or the other but I do not like people being disingenuous
