First plane is from Hong Kong. It normally lands around 04:30am, but arrives even earlier with tailwinds :-(

By the way, to all these people making no difference whether the Heathrow bound planes fly above us or not, have a listen this morning ! So quiet :-) !

It doesn't show up on http://webtrak5.bksv.com/lhr4. The first plane shown in our vicinity yesterday morning was LX345 LHR->ZRH, flying east over Thornton Heath at 06:16, at 10,000 feet. There were four more in the following hour, all also eastbound at 5-9,000 feet and no more north than Penge.


http://www.heathrow.com/arrivals shows first arrival BA032 from HK, at 04:49. I went back to Webtrak to check it. It came in over New Barnet and started a U-turn over Marlow to land.

This morning, (3.16)? I awoke thinking the MotherShip was landing on the roof, awful roar.

There is no respite today. I keep windows facing East closed, as the larger planes seem to change gear over Barry Road, hence the screaming engines we oft times hear. And consider the pollution.

Nonsense.. Planes into Heathrow normally fly 5 miles apart.. but can be as close as 3 miles.


So 5 miles in 20 secs.. 15 miles a min. 900 mph.

3 miles in 20 secs.. 9 miles a min. 540 mph.

I do not think so.


Planes are usually 1.5 - 2 mins apart.


5 miles in 1.5 mins. 200mph

5 miles in 2.0 mins .150pmh



That is more realist for an aircraft on final approach.

I've timed it before and Fox is right. Around every two minutes peak time Sunday during the summer. Very busy flight path today. Woke me up around 6am this morning and it's been pretty much continuous ever since. It also being very warm and leaving windows open to keep cool doesn't help.

Every 20 seconds..?? 3 planes a minute. 180 planes an hour..


That IS nonsense
