I had to look into the recent Heathrow flight trials here in Bracknell for our local Neighbourhood Action Group. The press coverage has been awful to put it mildly. It seemed started by a small group in the Ascot area who happened to have few overflights before and suddenly were under the trial routes (at 3000ft+). Bracknell councillors got on the bandwagon even though completely different routes passed over here. Yes, some of the planes came a little closer to my area but not significantly different as from what we have had for many years. FR24 tells you a lot - and a jumbo at 5000ft a mile away still looks quite large...
The trials ended yesterday, I imagine people will still complain.
