Having rung Brize the other evening to book 2 Hercs in for a spot of late night NVG TALO we were advised that they don't do night flying in the Brize circuit as it bothers the locals.
The perception is that it pisses off the folk who are daft enough to live in Soweto (or Carterton, as some term it). Thanks to some ar$e of a previous Stn Cdr (Kelvin Rucksack), we even used to have problems booking night flying in the flying club's puddlejumpers which make less noise than the locals' chavved-up Corsas...

Or Calibras. Sorry, Stoppers!
