I live in Pimlico (which I belive is even closer to the flight path) and it is difficult to hear the noise of the planes over that of the traffic. It is London, what does he expect.
Has Mr. Stewart had selective hearing from 1980?
As he lives close to the biggest railway junction in the Uk i reckon he may be getting his noises confused.
Go and find a quiet cave somewhere so you cannot be disturbed...please.
