Great. Just as all operators are paying attention to noise, last night the front door rattled as 2 of these sheds went down H4. Or one of them went twice.
So - now we'll all have to suffer the consequences of the Met using helicopters that can't fly at a height which would reduce the noise. I remember Eurocopter saying that 3000ft was the optimum for noisy helicopters.
Will we sleep safer in our beds ? Er - no. Even with earplugs.
I heard the Surrey ASU on freq over Epsom at the weekend telling all and sundry that they were going into a position before the main race and "would be following the horses". For what reason do they need to create such a disturbance ? You couldn't hear the filming 44 that was up over the course - but the 135 joined in and suddenly we all knew there was a helicopter there.
