About 15 years ago, I attended a public meeting in Berkhamsted when the airport was realigning the approach paths. At the time, I lived under one of the main paths and there was going to be more traffic at that point. So I went to give my support for LTN, spoke about the many times I had used it for leisure and dozens of time for business. I said we needed the airport to do well.
I doesn't help that Hatfield closed being a big employer for Herts and a good number of BY and MON crew living in Herts. Perhaps everyone should be running 737-200, 720 & 1-11s again!!!
