Well i thought all those people who live near an airport would have a nice peicefull weekend, must be such a relief for the poor unfortunates.
I didnt put myself in that catagorie though as we live in Reading. But i really cant believe how quieter it is with no planes flying. More so i cant believe how much noise we're used to and take for granted/accept.
Now if we could just turn the motorway off that would be great, thanks. ;D

Remember, though, that the "poor unfortunates" tag could also be applied to those who are increasingly likely to lose their livelihoods as a result of this.

at least the 11am noise from Concord in Reading will never return ;D

skies clear of plane trails as well, seems very odd

Except weekends in the summer, when everyone gets in their small planes at Turweston and Hinton.
I keep looking on ebay for SAMs, but the Taliban are snapping them all up :(

Just think how much nicer it would be if you moved out, house prices would go sky high :P ;D ;D

Depending on which way the winds blowing we normally have a plane flying over every 2 minutes. Wifey said I would get used to it but its been 13 years now and they still get on my nerves >:(

Yeah, no light aircraft either, theres a red baron round here, anything approaching a sunny day and he's up there, diveing and banking a generally buzzing around, Farck off and get a glider!

I can see a lot of people having to consult with their psychiatrists due to withdrawal symptoms!! "No noise, no noise, I can't stand this lack of noise!!" :D :D :D :D :D ;) ;) ;)

My landlady in Hounslow in the 70's woke up early if the flights DIDN'T start on time!!!

Concord. An engineerig feat from a different era, never to be repeated as the greenie, tree hugging hippies would cry in their lentil soup.

True, but it need not have happened, especially if correct procedures had been followed!

our home is on the runway path of a military airport :-/ although its far, sometimes big cargo planes pass very low and I jump from the shaking bed ;D
but mostly neighbours are more disturbing >:(

Oh dear...
"Two people have died after a light aircraft crashed and burst into flames in a field in Hampshire.
Private aircraft owners are strongly advised by the Civil Aviation Authority not to fly due to volcanic ash, however no legal restrictions are in force.
A Hampshire Police spokesman said: "It is too early to say whether ash was a factor but it will form part of the investigation."

Just a coincidence.......perhaps?..........or perhaps not? :-/ :-/
The results of the investigation will be interesting. ;)

Funnily enough we have seen 3 light aircraft flying round here today !!
-
Business as usual at the gliding club.
It's only really turbine aircraft flying above 20k feet that have a problem so for 99% of private aircraft there is no reason, legal or otherwise, not to fly.
A bit of journalistic licence trying to generate a story out of a tragic accident, IMHO. :(

saw couple of light aircraft in the air today when out on the bike, what a stunning day! 8-)
Get feeling now any aircraft accident or even car related crashes, the ash will be blamed by the media :-/

Seen reports that point to a crappy U.S passenger jet dropped a large piece of jagged metal, which Concord later run over :'(

No real need to terrain follow. There's plenty of sky between ground level and 20,000 feet. ;)

The lovely weather is no excuse, now you've passed your test, not to do those livesavers ;)

I could hear the birds this morning, well until the wifey made me put the washing machine on ;D

my personal cloud struck again, sat in garden chair, 2 minutes later 2 houses near by decided to play music in thier garden, so it WAS quiet, but only until I went outside. >:(

Been lovely and quite here. Did have a DHL Boeing 737 fly over at about 800 feet with the wheels down though. Guess they're taking the opportunity to sneak a few into ATC Lasham for some maintenance. ::)
