A friend of mine who is very anti expansion at Gatwick has posted on his FB account that he was woken
last night by a propeller aircraft flying up and down the flight line as if heading east I believe. It woke me at 0025 ish last night, and I heard it at varying closeness to me ( East side of Copthorne) until somewhere around 0130. I could not see it but it was low and some of the runs were , or appear to have been, directly over Copthorne and other runs perhaps on the current take off path.
I have checked Gatwick arrivals and departures on FR24 for this period and they show no activity. Does anyone else know how to check if their was anything else flying in this area at the time? I'm hoping it was law enforcement or similar because that would show aviation as a benefit to the complainant!!
