Planes over East Dulwich

Is it just me or does there seem to be a lot more planes flying (noisily) over ED recently....?

Was it always like this pre-pandemic?

you can watch them here

I was sitting in the garden tonight and I became really aware of the number and noise of the planes.

I think I must have just forgotten how bad it is

The planes this morning are ridiculous. They're very low and coming over every 90 seconds-ish.

I moved to ED over the pandemic so don't have any experience of planes pre-covid. Was it this bad then?

Its pretty unbearable for this time in the morning.

A couple of years ago there was an extended, ongoing thread discussing plane noise. If you can find that you?ll see this subject was beaten to death over a couple of years, I guess it (the thread) went quiet when the planes did during start of pandemic.

Concorde used to fly over, from memory about 5-6pm.

I love it when a PLAN comes together 😅

Noticed this too but my 2 year old is obsessed with planes so loves it!

I also work in a hospital and used to air ambulances hovering over my office before they land on the helipad so used to the noise!

Yes, it did, it was wonderful. I used to love seeing Concorde flying over my garden!

When they withdrew Concorde, two of them flew over East Dulwich on their last flight, but sadly I missed it.

Actually, Sue, it flew over my garden.

Yours view would have been slightly off to one side 🙄

Sigh Kid, one upmanship over exactly where concord flew is so immature ..

Especially as it was 110% for sure right over mine, as it used to make grandma Spartacus' teeth rattle in her glass

I thought there was an alternation policy, KK's house one day, Sue's the next.
