You guy's have got to remember that not all people are aviation fanatics. I think most would be a tad pissed off to have military aircraft flying over at all times of day.
Hi Woody...
...!
I'll give you 10/10 for that reply me old Mate....
...!
I have a new next door neighbour who keeps and breeds parakeets in a very large aviary near the bottom of my garden.
He loves his parakeets and is quite oblivious to the noise they make 18 hours every day, 365 days every year...
..but it is slowly destroying my life...
It's a bit like the general public and aeroplanes, we are all looking for peace and quiet in our lives...
As you say, not everyone is an aviation nut, and not everyone is a parakeet nut...
and there the problem lies...
Cheers...

Don't get me wrong. I always liked the Harrier & love seeing them displayed at the local airshow. The display aircraft & pilots are most likely based at RAF Wittering. The noise is incredible & almost painful. I would soon get fed up if they were constantly flying over at zero feet at all hours. Much as I love aircraft it would be beyond a joke. I strongly object to the local police helo using my house as a landmark for practice with their FLUR gizmo or whatever they're up to after midnight. LOL
I just spotted this on the official website. "The nature of the tasks undertaken generates a very high level of aircraft activity within the Wittering local area and, on average, nearly 100 movements are flown every day".

Hmm, I still think it v.slightly reeks of the establishment. Okay the noise is an issue, but there has been an airbase there since 1916! The good old RFC....
When I was at Wyton we used to have open days, and all the locals from the village were invited for free. Lunch and drinks on the RAF, we found it kept relations with the villagers very amicable, and they always appreciated us and our hospitality.
Mind you now they've been taken for nearly a million I'd imagine certain people will be well and truely off the invitation list....

Hi Hagar....
...!
Hear, hear.....
...!
I love listening to the little Cessna's and occasional micro-lights that pass chuffin' overhead, and so do most of my neighbours who pop out into their gardens to watch them.
What annoys us are the Police /Army helicopters that hover at low level, (often, I'm sure, below the 500 foot rule), and rattle our teeth against our tea-cups when sitting outside in our gardens enjoying the flowers and our newly installed "water feature"...
...!
...(...it's an "old fogies, Terry Wogan sort of thing"...)...
...!
LOL...!
Cheers all...
Paul.

Some of you guys are really lucky to see aircraft daily. I'm lucky to see the occasional cessna on a weekly basis where I live.

It's true you can get used to most things. I never objected to our local airport & hardly noticed the trains when I lived near the railway line. My uncle lived on the approach to Heathrow & I loved to lay in back garden collecting the reg numbers as they flew low over it, one every 2 minutes at that time. He never noticed when the picture on his TV regularly turned upside down. LOL
I do think the constant noise of those Harriers would drive me completely round the bend. I'm almost there now & it wouldn't take much.
As Pete & Ozzy point out, this case might well have been influenced by the "old school tie". Normal people wouldn't stand a chance but nobody should have to put up with that. IMHO

Hi Ozzy...
...!
..if those blue and white striped, (Police), helo's had been doing their job properly and spotted the thieving toe-rags who were stealing my lovely Honda CBR 600 FM, motor-bike from my garden path, I might wave nicely to them, but as they didn't, and I lost it, never to be found again, .....two fingers would be in order, I think, for the noise they are making over my English Country Garden...
...!
LOL...LOL...LOL...!
Cheers Mate...!
Paul.
(England)....the land of thieving motorcyclists, (generally from Wales)....ooooppppssss...!

The one that annoys me is a blue & yellow MD903 Explorer. This is the offending object.
Not so noisy as their previous Bo105 but I still shake my fist at it on a regular basis. Helos were never my favourite type of flying machine, especially when they insist on hovering over my house.

It's odd what noise nuisance will do to people. I had a workmate who lived on the boundary of Gatwick Airport. His family had lived there since well before the airport existed. This guy worked in the industry & was the most amiable & inoffensive person you could ever wish to meet. He confessed to me once that if he had a gun he would have happily shot at the aircraft in frustration at the constant noise. I'm sure he would not have done so but this demonstrates the effect of constant noise pollution. People have murdered their neighbours at far less provocation.

Being near the RAF's DHFS, we get those, B-212 Griffons and Squirrls in that colour scheme.
Gets confusing when your goin down the A5 at 90mph and see one of those above you
8) "Is it a copper?" "Is it an ambulance" "Is it an inexperienced new pilot of the airforce" *falls out of sky* "yes, its RAF"
Back to the topic. That couple should really blame the estate agency that sold the house to them (or the previous owner) if they didnt warn about the local airfield. It would seem appropriate to point it out...
Salesman: ... and such a lovley back garden, plenty of space...
*roar of jet engine*
Man: Whats that noise?
Salesman: Thats absolutely definatly not and airfiled close to the house. You'll never get botherd by low flying harriers here.
*Harrier flys past low level*
Man: What was that?
Salesman: That? err... That was a pigeon!

Reminds me of a commercial where some bloke who is talking with his father about buying a house. The father states that he needs to talk to certain people before buying a house, as a large Boeing aircraft flies almost tree top level over his house, shaking everything
