This morning, at 0850 BST, on BBC1 TV Breakfast - Liquid News, the Madonna buying Compton Abbas story, was illustrated with cuts between classic shots of Madonna, & film of several Hercules C130s, at what appeared to be an RAF airfield.
This was presumably meant to be an honest illustration, to justify Madonna's complaints of aircraft noise

I assume that Compton Abbas pilots know the houses of Madonna and Julian. I'm sure that there not small.
Why doesn't someone print off a few copies of this thread and drop them into their back yards?? (Of course, from 501', at night, and not admnitting to it!!)
Or stick a Citation and an air charter outfit at the airfield. They'll start calling it there own private field then, anyway

This thread is an interesting demonstration of the dynamics of pprune. Starts with a dubious story culled from an unreliable news source, warms up with several "let's stonk her house!" posts, gains a few "but what if the press see that?" cautions, and then comes back to Earth as local knowledge indicates that the original story has a high fiction content. Goes to sleep for a while, then recycles with more "lets stonk her house" contributions, perhaps from people who didn't read the middle page? How many more circuits can the thread survive before the neighbours start complaining?

Only a bit of fun mate. God knows we deal enough with noise complaints, genuine and silly, and in the real world I hope that we deal with them professionally and courteously.
Let a few people vent it out on here, rather than actually dive bombing her gaff with the odd "practice EFATO".

Hey, no objection to people blowing off steam. My comment was really directed at the curious cyclical nature which the thread took, like quite a few on pprune.
