Ah, I see Contacttower, I was just assuming for Group A only. I stand corrected.

300 Yards is a little close indeed, if that is the case. However I still can't see microlights thundering overhead skimming rooftops, rattling the pans on the kitchen shelf and making one completely unable to concentrate on doing anything.

Also, if it's microlights we're talking about, I have found microlights to be very quiet indeed. Even 300 Yards away. Yes I've been to East Fortune rather more than a few times during my lifetime from a very young age.

Like I say I don't want to start slagging people off, I do have some understanding for some cases of aircraft noise, but when people come out with grossly exaggerated statements of Quantums thundering over the roofs causing much distress then I start to lose sympathy and patience. Bringing the Compensation Culture into the equation also fairly cheeses me off.
