Rissy. I did admin officer for 637 VGS for their first continuous Vigilant course in '91.(they had only flown them weekends prior to this)
We started getting noise complaints from one of the new houses on the road which runs along the western boundary. The CO phoned the local Parish council to apologise, and was asked who the complainant was. They said the complainer was known to them and was BA Cabin crew! Furthermore they had no objection to flying being carried out at Rissy and please refer any further complaints to them!
As for alternatives, no one has mentioned Wisley. Good road communications via A3 and M25 both adjacent; railway line at Woking not too far away; 2000m runway still in situ but presently partially blocked by Armco barriers 'protecting' several public rights of way; there's even a VOR/DME on the airfield.
