What world do we live in?
Unbelievable (Read all the way to the end): If Kate Moss lived near Heathrow would she ask them to delay flights at the crucial moment? 
Surely she is not that naive to think that servicemen who have spent another few months in the sandpit could do with a further delay away from home so she can get married in silence?
The supermodel - who tied the knot with The Kills rocker Jamie Hince at a ceremony held in St Peter's Church in Southrop, South West England, on Friday (01.07.11) - couldn't control her emotions on the big day and was "absolutely ecstatic" to be surrounded by so many loved ones as she tied the knot, her dad Peter has revealed.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "It was fantastic, very lovely day. The wedding was not as rock 'n' roll as you'd think. It was a very good party, but not a party that went on for three days, exactly.
"Kate was absolutely ecstatic and moved to tears to have all her friends and family around her.
"When you've got two or three hundred friends with you then it's going to be a good day isn't it?"
Guests at the wedding included Naomi Campbell, Sadie Frost and her ex-husband Jude Law, former Clash rocker Mick Jones and Topshop boss Sir Philip Green.
Kate - who had 15 bridesmaids at the ceremony, including her eight-year-old daughter Lily Grace - attempted to make sure her day went without any disturbances by asking for military planes flying from nearby RAF Brize Norton to be diverted or postponed, but the request was "politely" turned down.
A military source told The Sun newspaper: "Kate should consider herself lucky she just got a polite refusal.
"RAF Brize Norton is a fully operational wartime air base.
"Flights from the base carry troops and vital equipment directly to Afghanistan. These flights are absolutely crucial. The idea that the top military brass would put these flights on hold or change their routes just to give a celeb some peace on their wedding day is absolutely inconceivable."

However, at Cocaine Kate's request, Plod closed off some local roads without having given the statutory 2 weeks' notice normally required.... The locals termed it 'Mosstok', I hear.
I don't think that there's much circuit flying on Saturdays nowadays; however, all the 'military source' should have told The Sun was "We told her we'd do what we could to avoid causing any disturbance - but with the current operational tempo we couldn't really give any guarantees!" instead of making such a harumphing comment as was quoted.

Borrow this from the folks at Cherry Point and plant in her front yard?
newt,
Jet noise.................The sound of?
Well, just noise actually. It has precious little to do with anyone's freedom.
Don't the bad guys jets make just the same noise?

charliegolf,
Strange, they have different laws of physics then?
Noise is just noise.

newt,
I know. I was providing some of the annoying jetnoise from a certain rather large airfield near the Dutch border in a VERY noisy jet at the time.
I thought the phrase nonsense then and still do now.
It was still just noise...

Surely Mr PrOOne, the whole point of the exercise was that whilst jet noise WAS the sound of freedom, you had every right to complain about it! Perhaps to your neighbours further to the east it was the sound of oppression, given their lack of freedom to complain. Or perhaps I have introduced and serious note into what was intended to be a bit of light-hearted banter - if so - sorry!

Sorry, system didn't accept my spelling of Mr Pr00ne and changed it - no offence meant!

My Village
I live in this village, Southrop. Even locals were stopped by police from getting to their house without questioning. I wonder how the busy police force justified this!
Mr Canadian Break,
Good point well made about light hearted banter, no need to apologise.
To me it was all just noise. Locals under the approach and around Nordhorn used to complain, especially when flying on TACEVAL at odd hours of the night or over weekends.
The sound of freedom? Nah, not really. Just the sound of Government imposed legalised naughtiness.

Foldie,
Nah, there was a whinging bloke in the back. Often he was about as funny, original and witty as you are. Not a nav by any chance?
Still don't see how that noise had anything to do with freedom, mine or anybody elses.
