No it's the noise which has created the oversensitivity!

The lack of noise allowed you to sleep in?

Runway resurfacing alters night-time flight patterns

Runway resurfacing is an essential maintenance task that comes round roughly once every decade. Last year we resurfaced the southern runway. During 2014, we'll be resurfacing the northern runway. Because Heathrow is so busy, this work needs to takes place at night.

That will mean changes to the pattern of night-time flights. From 23rd March to 31st October, most aircraft flying after 10.30pm and before 6am will use the southern runway.

Since Heathrow has relatively few night flights, the changes won't affect many aircraft ? mostly arrivals after 4.30am. There will be no additional night flights.

What does this mean for you?

If you live under the flight path for the southern runway, you'll experience more night-time aircraft noise than usual

If you live under the flight path for the northern runway, you'll experience less.

Back to the noise.


Westerly operations today.


But flights must have been further north as the noise sounded 1/3 to 1/2 of last weeks levels, that could be down to wind direction but the wind is very light so probably not.


From 6.30 did noise did become more intrusive but right now 9.00am nothing ?


See flight path below shows many flight are not over ED but over the Thames this morning.

Probably poorly attended because for most people this isn't a big problem.

Looks like I made a lucky guess, eh... Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing.


Anyhow, I'd appreciate hearing about Tuesday's meeting, please.

Just back home in ED.

Drone central.

watching top gear and the aircraft noise is constant.

drone drone drone.. In the background constant rumble.



99% of people don't want to make a fuss about negative issues.


maybe the ostrich in them stops them from making a fuss.

    • I think you can have afternoon tea at The Cutty Sark?
    • What about a cinema party? The picture house has conservatory but the furniture is a bit shabby. You can connect your own music too. 
    • I got a relatively good deal (well, compared to the quote from my current broker!)  through Orwell Insurance, who also didn't require a survey. £655 pa including subsidence cover. The excess is quite high but there's a ten year guarantee on the work on my front bay, so fingers crossed I won't have to claim. There has been other ground movement decades ago which sadly they also took into account in setting the excess. I used an online site called QuoteZone which was very quick and easy and can exclude any companies which won't cover you if you've had previous subsidence. Good luck to everyone who is in a similar situation! Each company seems to ask different questions and want different things, so definitely try a few places. I didn't want to spend days phoning round, so given I had already  saved £845 I stopped there, though it's possible I could have got it cheaper.
