Michael Palaeologus Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 It is one of the most pointlessly masturbatory thread for some time.I will continue to not really notice the planes that fly over our heads.Buses though, noisy buggers they are.Could we? Do you think? Could we? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54015-aircraft-noise/page/14/#findComment-937133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweptwind Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I'm curious. For those bothered by aircraft, what conditions (if any) would have to be met for a Heathrow runway 3 to be acceptable?

Flying over millions of people is no longer acceptable.Let's grow a pair and look forward to the next 100 years build a new hub airport!

And why did they build bloody Heathrow at the west side of the city ??????? because...In 1930, British aero engineer and aircraft builder Richard Fairey paid the Vicar of Harmondsworth ?15,000 for a 150-acre plot to build a private airport to assemble and test aircraft. Complete with a single grass runway and a handful of hastily erected buildings, Fairey?s Great West Aerodrome was the humble precursor to the world?s busiest international airport, Heathrow.During World War II the government requisitioned land in and around the ancient agricultural village of Heath Row....more.. http://www.heathrow.com/company/company-news-and-information/company-information/our-historyDulwichFox Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54015-aircraft-noise/page/14/#findComment-938839 Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Orwell Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I agree fabfor - LHR is not at full capacity despite what they tell us. For example, since BA took over the runway take-off/landing slots of now defunct British Midland it hasn't been able or maybe willing to use them all. Recently I read that BA is cancelling partially full flights which poor punters have already booked in a deliberate policy to protect it's slot allowance. Apparently they must use something like 80% of their allocated slots or lose them; they pretend to use them all but when the qualifying figure on slot use is reached they know that they can cancel flights without penalty.For BA it could be that the slots are at the wrong times for the destinations they travel to.To be clear, what I am saying is that LHR is not full and could be more efficiently used. Of course, more capacity in SE England will be needed eventually and in my view, all governments are short sighted and are only self-interested in the 5 year term, so it's 100% certain to be at LHR.For those under the current flightpath there will never be any respite, it'll only get worse.

Joylo Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I think there are also planes flying over Dulwich into London City. They are nearer their destination and therefore lower and more noisy. If you notice, they fly east rather than west, and they are too low to be circling waiting for clearance to LHR Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54015-aircraft-noise/page/14/#findComment-949464 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the flight path app or online flight maps.Heathrow is the most ridiculous option where humanity is concerned.

EDOldie Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I know I've said this before somewhere but we need a radical solution like the so called 'Boris Island' or Thames Hub option.No more planes going over London(remember what it was like when all the planes were grounded because of the volcano?), Gatwick and Heathrow completely redeveloped to pay for it and provide much needed housing to the west and south of London, direct fast transport links, including from Herne Hill by the looks of it.There's too much money involved in retaining the status quo to the detriment of the majority and the advantage of a minority for it to happen but it seems to make so much sense to me Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54015-aircraft-noise/page/14/#findComment-949649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Crikey! I've been critical of these threads in the past but even I've been woken by the planes now. Woke at 4am this morning and I haven't been able to go back to sleep because of the constant aircraft noise. They've been really loud this morning.

Both Gatwick and Heathrow (in particular) have very good transport links. And think of the noise improvement over London itself. We get a plane going over our house in East Dulwich low just before six EVERY BLOODY MORNING!!Don't know which airport it's going into but it would be lovely to lose it. Even at a cost of billions!
