Planes over East Dulwich

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.

This is relentless tonight  

So noisy.

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.

Airport operations are overseen by the Transport Secretary, I think the Right Hon Sir Dick Mango.  You can write to him direct or through your local MP Ms Emma Pomegranate.  I hope you enquiries bear 🍓

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.
