Actually it's not the approach path to Brize that's the problem - it's take-off. We're off to the side in a dip. The noisiest aircraft type here are old VC-10 converted tankers and they are horrible on full chat. Fortunately there's not many of them and they come and go occasionally. Others are Tri-Stars, C-17s and Fat Albert. It can be a busy base, but only when NATO are up to no good! Generally quiet though. Maybe that's because they're re-surfacing the runway ;-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
