I know that this may seem terribly boreing and has been said before.....But "If you don't like aircraft noise then don't move next to an airport".
And as for those who live 5, 10 or even 20 DME from LHR you should have looked up as thats the only real way that you can tell nowadays that an A/C has flown over.
And how long does LHR have to be in existance before you realise that aeroplanes will have to fly into it....after all it's only been there for over 50 years and is one of the worlds best known airports.
If the HACAN argument can get social funding from left wing or PC councils then so should the Heathrow supporters groups in the name of providing jobs for pilots,cleaners, ATC, shop assistants, mechanics, cabin crew etc etc etc the list is endless.
