Oh by the way I live in Telford and there is NO aircraft noise problem. Very rare to see a (non-military) aircraft. Main noise comes from military (Shawbury) & police choppers.
Sherlowe's "local flying area" is to the west, beyond Shrewsbury.
Conditions permitting, aeros are conducted v. high - eg 8000 feet.
As a general, admittedly subjective observation (and as an "alien"), I tend to find the average local person round here a bit "yokelish". I'm sure this does not apply to the above-average people of the area though, amongst which I count anyone local reading this (though I reserve judgement on the aforementioned Mr Cox).
