Elvington needs our help

[Dave Dax builder]

Simple, just burn the village.

I'm sure the little shop just up the road from the airfield hasn't complained, not at the prices they charge for toilet roll and cream cakes (Essential supplies when camping at a weekend bash).

wunt know mate, I can't camp as I would not be able to move next morning!

[AJI]

these type of people make me sick !!

They move into a house which they know is beside an airfield... then instantly they start to complain over the sounds from it. Fooking ignorant stupid people !!

Its like somebody buying a house next to a railway line and then sending letters of complaint to their local MP and the rail operator about the sound of trains coming past their house !

Or, as in the case of my house, which is completely surrounded by arable farmland, complaining about the machinery coming past. OK, in the autumn, the farmers work all the hours god sends, but for most of the year, you can hear a pigeon fart here. Apparently a previous occupant used to stand in the garden with a clipboard, writing down what she regarded as nuisances and writing to the council about them. No wonder there's lead shot in the fence posts...

Simple, if you decide to live close to one of europes longest/widest runways, you might expect to here, possibly, rather loud jet engines every day of the year and at all times. All sorts of motor sports need and use this runway. It's one of the spots that will be used if needed by a space shuttle. It was built by the americans and it's one of our most valuble assets. If you want teams of all motor sports to test else where, then don't start to complain when there are not any jobs in this sector left in the uk.

Nothing we can do, once these idiots get there foot in the door they win

Now just get the land owners to apply for permission for a maggot farm, a chicken farm, pig farm, clay pigeon ground and a few others just to recoup the lost income. The locals will be a bit busy..

I just had a read of the thread on www.thisisyork.co.uk/display.var.1030118.0.0.php

What a load of dribble these residents and their friends produce. Can we get a PH petition going to help the airfield?

Like the suggestion it may become a local airport within 10yrs!

Ah the noise of a few Boeing taking off!

TNT Skypak were going to operate Thurleigh airfield as a cargo hub, before it became Bedford Autodrome. They had a license for some collosal number of aircraft movements (3000 a year? I forget). The complainers in Thurleigh village (which is some way from the airfield) would have come crawling to Jonathan Palmer, begging him to take it over, had TNT got there first.

Perhaps the owners could suggest inviting some of their travelling friends to go and camp there as an alternative?

Nothing would silence a tree hugging, lentil mucher quicker.

I visited Elvington today as a spectator and a couple of cars that didn't seem excessively loud to the ear failed the new lower static noise test.
