A while back and after a momentary lapse in concentration we went to view a house somewhere in Oxon. It was only when navigating to the village and using an OS map to check for nearby pubs that I realised our mistake and I said to my wife that we can't live here...
It was a Sunday and I directly asked the estate agent if the village suffered from aircraft noise, the reply "no its a very quiete village".
Really I thought 3.5 miles SW of Brize and no noise from the extreamly quiet VC10s/Tristars departing on the predominent runway!
riiight..
We once got a letter to the Stn Cdr from a lady thanking us for avoiding her on her horse.
