We had a long period where the wind was coming from the north east. That meant the planes coming into Heathrow were not flying over ED. Now the wind has changed to the prevailing South westerly the Heathrow planes are flying over again.

Next week winds are forecast to be from the north so we?ll have a quiet period.

City planes tend to fly in along the Thames from the east.

It?s the Heathrow planes that fly over us generally.

I wish the watermelons in Tooley St and City Hall would do something about the awful noise and air pollution caused by planes in this area instead of carrying on their poitnless war on road junctions.

I don't think you know your onions. Your real beef is with the mandarins of the Civil Aviation Authority.

Well I feel like a right nanna now as my search came up with DfT.  From first hand experience their officials are involved.  Not going to work out the exact relationship between CAA and DfT, it has become more arm's length, but would expect that accountability is through the man/woman or fruiting body in Whitehall

At my end of LL, I'm on the London City flightpath rather than Heathrow.    The Heathrow flightpath goes over the main part of ED.

    • Yes, we have a Casio CT-S100 we no longer need, except I dont think we have the headphones any more. It has a USB connection. £50? https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7333639
    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.
