My final contribution to this thread.(See #5.)
Like Deano, I have never been able to understand why people buy houses close to airfields that they know are still operational and have been since before WW2.
Kemble is a case in point, smarting maybe terminally from the persistent whinges of a NIMBY.
The very sad situation here is that the major complainant appears to have been in the flying business, moved close during the eighties and has created continuous havoc with the local (sympathetic) councils to foment the present situation.............
-- and people have bent over backwards to create as little upset for them as humanly possible.
Wonder how many have been inconvenienced by HIM/HER during a long flying career ??
Little bit of thread-wander. Sorry, guys.
