A story from a few years back relating to RAF Odiham and the use of God's gift to the aviation world.

Perhaps this comment says it all (considering they brought the house in 1985),

Wg Cdr Trevor Field, an RAF spokesman, said: "We are not unsympathetic to the problems faced by Mrs Wallinger but the fact is she moved into a house that is directly under the designated flight path. There have been Chinooks at Odiham since 1982.
He could have added that the airfield had been active since 1937 as an RAF airfield but 1925 as an aircraft operating site.
