In June, on this very thread, I wrote that noise would become a
real issue once the Hercs arrived. Shortly thereafter BEagle replied that:
Mr B, mate, there's so little flying in British West Oxfordshire these days, that noise is the least concern....
I came back with:
I was referring to the fact that once you put all those Lyneham movements in to Brize, then noise complaints will increase. And that is true even if the movement numbers overall aren't that comparable to a moderately busy civvie airfield. Just the fact that movements ramp up to a point that has not been reached before, will be enough to set off the nimbys! I'll put money on it.
I rest my case!
I'm just off to the bookie to collect my winnings .............
