Yes Smarthawke a little kownledge can be dangerous. I am just telling you all, Booker will go if they do not listen to the general public. I believe the lease is up in 4 years and only costs approx £50,000 a year, yet the commercial value of the land area would indicate £500,000 a year is the correct price. The main noise problem are Helicopters (R22s are bad) and aircraft with proptips that go supersonic (Redbull team and 177RGs are an example). The defence, that aircraft are operating inside the law does not stop the public in the area around, being very upset. Denham is a good expample of a responsible airfield that takes noise complaints seriously, even if you are in side the law and see White Waltham for how to keep in with neighbours. There is live and let live, but the noise Booker produces is getting worse, so see the writing on the wall, read it and do something about it or loose Booker.
