Nimmer - I use Heathrow and Gatwick several times each year. I also have a son who works at Heathrow so I have NO PROBLEM living with reasonable aircraft noise. My gripe is that the boffins at HAL have now chosen to re-route the previous spread of many Westerly departures into a single narrow path which happens to be over my house without so much as a by your leave - perhaps I didn't get the memo.
I see the trial is finishing early - has common sense broken out ?
