Hear hear Tony.
Having grown up in Farnborough and Cove; left to do the Uni thing and develop a career; then come back and settled in Fleet I have no problem with increased movements, weekend or otherwise.
One of my enduring memories is catching sight of Concorde through trees turning at low level from our back garden in Cove during the Airshow in the early seventies. As an impressionable 9 year old it played a part in shapeing my interest in the industry.
My son did his work experience at Flight Safety a couple of years ago and is now adamant that aviation is his field of choice. (pun intentional
)
Long may it prosper and develop; and if you want to route rwy 24 northerly outbounds over my house I do not have a problem.
Having lived in Osterley for a period I do not have a problem with tuning out external noise; in fact I notice the M3 traffic noise far more than any LF airborne traffic.
If you don't tolerate noise well; do research and don't move near airfields or motorways; existing or planned.
