I live under a low-flying corridor.

There are two reasons for the corridor - the first is that it is a route from a live firing training area (live-firing for land machines) and an electronic warfare training area (for aircraft) - and the second reason that it crosses the approach to an airport (so the military aircraft have to be kept below the civilian airliners.

On one occasion (I don't recall the detail) I telephoned the 'low-flying hotline'.
I couldn't get through to the operator that I wasn't wanting to lodge a complaint . . .
