When I first arrived at Lyneham in 1967 - before the bund was built - I remember being disturbed for the first few nights by Hercules ground running. After the first week, they didn't bother me at all. Since I was on shifts I also had to get used to the noise during the day too. My room in the mess was about 100 yards from and facing the Calne Strip and didn't have double glazing.
In those days, jet/aircraft noise was considered the sound of freedom.
