Even more annoying aircraft noise?!

Oh yeah, with you on the concorde thing.

That was a nice loud noise, and a majestic sight out of my old sitting room window. Gawd bless 'er.

I miss it too. It was always wonderful when commentators at the Oval, well, commentated on it.

Yes - lived on the Camberwell New Road, so had to turn the TV up to hear them remarking about it.

watching the planes steep bank above my house through the velux in the recent high winds was a trip. I could see them being buffered.All wobbly. looked precarious.

If it is because of new holding areas should/would it not have been consulted on or discussed at some point? Like somebody else said, it feels a bit like waking up one morning and fnding the M25 has been carved through your back garden (appreciate I might have been spoiled by it being so quiet before - but then again, that is partly why I bought my flat!) What is most annoying (apart from being woken up in the morning, esp on a Saturday) is not being able to get any answers!!

Recommend that everyone begins deluging the unhelpful help / complaints line (0800 344844) and / or maybe try writing to Tessa and see if that makes any difference (if she is not too busy thinking about flying people in for the Olympics)...
