This poor deluded soul has no idea whats about to hit in early May
The Avro Vulcan XH558 which is resident at Brunters starts it's flight trials. Which will include hours of engine runs,brake tests (done from take off speeds) and ultimately flight tests .
I think that it would be fun to camp outside this individuals house whilst all this goes on. Hopefully the embolism that'll occur when this individual realises he cant do a damn thing about it will be awesome to watch.
Also when she's fully certified and is performing in airshows every weekend
an unsilenced TVR,Porsche etc is going to sound like an ant farting.
Recently I was lucky enough to be in the new Fearnsports Silverstone Bunker
when a full race 911 GT2 (virtually unsilenced) was fired up. Believe me this thing was quiet in comparison to the Vulcans awesome elephantine howling Olympus noise. You VMax boys would be well impressed with a vehicle that can rattle windows from 20 miles away!!!!
Remember there are probably only a handful of things that are any noisier than a vulcan on it's take off run they are 1, the space shuttle 2,Rockwell B1-B 3,then probably the Vulcan.
Hopefully the tin triangle will cause a white flag to fly above this nimbys
house!!
See you all soon
Regards Rob
Great news about the vulcan. I vividly remember as a child attending an air show where a vulcan did a fly over with the throttles wide open (well, I thought so at the time). Proper reverb in the chest and ground-shaking stuff! Look forward to seeing one fly again.

Nice idea Sam but I fully expect this guy's already made his mind up about you, me and all the other VMAXers - rich boys and their toys and all that rubbish.
Besides, I'm not sure it's fair to ask that the St. John's ambulance guys are also there to treat injuries for ABH.
Mmm I have childhood memories of a Vulcan flypast too. I think it was at an RAF Leeming airshow. It should certainly ruffle some feathers!
As for the NIMBY, well it's selfishness is the extreme. Don't want noise? Don't move close to an airfield/proving ground/race track/whatever! Rubbish

If anyone knows the name of the "indivivdual" who claims to be responsible for the problems with running Vmax then print it and let the masses send letters of righteous indignation, if that doesn't work then is there anyone or any organisation that could try to purchase this Nimby's house as a clubhouse? Surely there are several thousand of us PHers who would chip in a some money to have our very own PH house...maybe not a bad investment?
Not just VMax...moany old gits are complaining that Alton Towers is too loud...people screaming with excitement on the rides needs to be banned....read here...from BBC..

A couple living near the Alton Towers theme park in Staffordshire have told the High Court it is still too noisy.
Owner Tussauds Theme Park Ltd was ordered to cut noise levels in 2005 after complaints about noise nuisance. The crown court later raised these levels, but Stephen and Suzanne Roper have taken the park to court again, saying levels are still too high. The park's lawyer said the 40 decibel level was "rational" and residents should not expect "tranquillity".
Jonathan Caplan QC told the court there had been amusements at the site for more than 100 years and residents should be prepared to put up with some "inconvenience". He added that World Health Organisation guidelines said noise levels of between 50 and 55 decibels were acceptable "below which the effect of noise should be negligible".
The Ropers, from Farley, claim the current noise abatement order does not control noise levels from concerts and fireworks displays and there is no adequate system in place to monitor sound levels. They have also complained about the shrieks from people enjoying the theme park's white-knuckle rides.

Its just all wrong.

Prepare to explode.
I've just got off the phone from Von Thomassino who has an acquaintance resident in the fair village of Bruntingthorpe.
This person claims to know the single individual directly responsible for igniting the whole anti-proving ground issue.
It should come as no surprise to any of us to discover the person is new to the village.
The person is 'against noise.'
The person has complained and sought action against a neighbouring dog which had the bare snouted audacity to bark.
The person is an employee of the local council.
...excuse me, a small trickle of blood has just emanted from one of my nostrils...

Was at TOTB again last year and had exactly the same thing.
Some Tw@t has bought a house at the end of the runway of a disused airfield and then complains about the noise! Being Yorkshire the locals are none to happy about the numpty upstart so there is a petition to keep racing at Elvington which all of the competitors signed!
It still meant the top speed run over the usual 1.25 mile was reduced to 1 mile and we were all asked to turn off early and not run to the end of the runway.....I "accidentally" missed the turning point and made a point of accelerating loudly around the bend at the end.

I expect the loud nois of cars at brunters (or elvingto, goodwood, castle coombe etc) is a public nuisance offence.
It is an odd quirk of the law that you can buy a house, aware of its proximity to a noisey place, and then make a complaint!! Unfortunately, these
wits have statute on their side

Oooo, that's good, as I have planes going to City airport going over my place, so I'll get that shut. And I fancy buying a small flat near Heathrow and closing that too...
