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.

    • Indeed ianr, I didn't have time to include all Royal Mail options, thanks for that extra bit, they have been spot on for me, I use them a lot and have never had any issues with delivery, touch wood!
    • People are switching to electric cars irrespective of fuel prices.  100s of millions that could be spent on hospitals and schools for example have been lost due to fuel duty freezes and a supposedly temporary reduction.  Fuel is relatively cheap at the moment.  With a stonking majority when is it time to rightly take on motorists? Farming, I simply referred to Paul Johnson of the IFS who knows more about the economy that you, I and Truss will ever know. Food?  Au contraire.  It's too cheap, too poor quality and our farmers are squeezed by the supermarkets and unnatural desire to keep it cheap.  A lot less takeaways and more home cooking with decent often home produced, food should benefit most in our society. Be honest you do t like Labour. 
    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use.
