Living just outside the southern ATZ edge I am often amazed at how quiet nearly all Farnborough's flying residents are. The Gulfstreams particularly are hard to hear on what is usually a downwind leg when passing over us just south of the Hog's Back. The noisiest aircraft is a Stearman [but the transonic prop noise is a joy to hear and the Stearman a joy to see!] but that is flown off a strip behind the Hog's Back Brewery.
Seeing as there has been an airfield at Farnborough since the dawn of powered flight I hope the airfield stays open for ages. Nimby's - they must have known there was an airfield there before they moved in!
Weekend slots are welcome AFAIAC.
