Just been looking at the google map.

If I am right that the engineering hangers are to the north?

If that's so they are in a natural triangle.

I suspect that they could do quite a bit with planting trees or a fecking huge hedge type affair. With those pines that go huge in the space of 10 years and the foliage branches go down to the ground.

You would steal some of the football pitches ground and don't know if there is enough room without going into the farmers fields.

But a load of trees and some MTD's of the local combat engineering unit should get them installed.

They use trees quite a bit in Scandinavia for noise suppression. If your on stand in Oslo you can hardly hear a thing from the other aircraft in the next bay.
