Amen.

I live quite nearby to the flightpath, not directly under but I certainly hear the planes as they depart or arrive from BHD. The loudest is without doubt are the bmi airbusses, but even they wouldnt stop you from sleeping. Its just backround noise which comes hand in hand with living in any urban area. One thing which is undoubtedly true is that a largish lorry (not articulated or anything, just your standard delivery van for the likes of a Vivo) clattering up my street at 6am is FAR more likely to wake me than an overflying airbus on approach to BHD.

I say we burn the Vivo vans!!!

Seriously though, while for a few people it may be a pain in the ass, its really not worth the overall fuss. I'd love a late night in from edinburgh please... Ban noisey trucks, car horns, kids in the street (wee bastards) and skateboards. All of the above are much more disruptive than aircraft so I demand a protest group.
