No noise issues at Yeovilton
When the Phantoms left they received numerous complaints about the lack of noise. Same I believe when the Sea Harriers left. Surely the F-35 is quieter than either of those?
You've got to remember that not so long ago that was one of the busiest bits of air in the UK, and the locals were well used to the local Sea Harriers, Canberras and Hunters, along with lots of low level stuff including Vulcans and F-111s.
Yeovils an aircraft town with Westland and Yeovilton and the various subcontractors all providing work. Anyone who complains would soon be told where to go
