What the hell is wrong with people?

[Asterix]

Eh? Why do they keep talking about single seaters when its obviously a double bubble?



Regardless - who ever complained should be ashamed of themselves - I can only assume they have no idea about the history of Great Britain.

[davepoth]

I can't think of many better sounds than a Merlin on full chat either.

[Puggit]

I can only assume it was a German

EA times says that one person made one verbal complaint.

Daily Mail letting the facts get in the way again?

One verbal complaint is all it takes for a ban these days. It's just lucky that the noise man at the council likes the noise of a Spitfire.

[Mr_B]

There needs to be a counter complaint system from within the vilages around the airfield , where every vote in favour counters one vote against.

[Perd Hapley]

Must be an odd feeling when you make a complaint about noise and 3,600 people tell you to shut up!

[Six Fiend]

When Filton Airport closes next year the residents of North Bristol will mourn the loss of our regular Spitfire air show

It is never intrusive and is very much a talking point loved by all I've ever spoken with.

"But one person complained the roar of the engine"

Noise ?? fk off !! Merlin on full chat is Music !

some people need to get a sodding life !

[Jasandjules]

Perhaps the council can name the individual who complained so that the locals can see who it was.....

Yes indeed. I saw the BBMF Lancaster at a VE display back in 1995. The low growl and then the roar of those four Merlins is indeed music.

This enrages me beyond belief.

A) It's a fantastic sound, those who disagree are wholly wrong and frankly heathen idiots.

B) It's a brilliant reminder of our heritage and to those who laid down their lives in order to protect us and our country.

Its akin to the absolute twunts who live near Goodwood, then complain about the noise, I honestly can't comprehend why you wouldn't want it flying, I'm sure they are even considerate with the times and days on which the aircraft is flown.

People have started to believe the daily wail.

And on a far more intresting note

piece of st gutter press said:

Mrs Grace learned to fly the plane after her late husband Nick, who restored the aircraft, was killed in a car crash in 1988

I belive while folk like this are still around we have alot of hope

[audidoody]

Stupid fokker should've been around in September 1940. Now THAT was noise.

It wasn't grounded. Who ratcheted up the angst - you or the Daily Mail?
