Jord. Same.

Between about 11pm and Midnight, low enough to rattle the windows. Luckily my daughter seems to sleep the best that time of night so doesn't wake, but they are noisy!

Might fill a form in...

[Len]

So when those two jets went supersonic the other week thousands of people filled in complaint forms?

We get this loads from the lads at Odiham, freaks the cats right out which makes me

They went supersonic as a helicopter sent out a hijack signal and that is what they are there for... idiot


Does anyone remember that article about a guy in Scotland(?) who was constantly having all manner of stuff flying over his house, jets sweeping the valleys and popping up at full chat. Turns out that every helli, jet or whatever was locking on to his house every time they flew over as his place was the perfect target for under radar paractice   Her wasnt a happy bunny

I am unfortunate enough not to get them fly over my home but they fly over quite reguarly at work, I enjoy it I like to watch them also makes me feel quite proud of the amazing job these boys are signed up to do,

I dont have children of my own but have shared a house with some babies & i do understand that young children can be hard to settle,
May I suggest some form of tixylix or some childrens form of night nurse (if there is such a thing) that is not of the non drowsy formula...

After all seems harsh complaining about the boys that are training to protect us & our country,
(whats left thats worth protecting is beyond me but thats a different thread entirely)

Hope you find something that helps the littluns to sleep through it

[Ant1981]

jord, ignore this

Can you complain? Short answer - NO!

as its completely incorrect

they have a low flying complaints procedure and forms

from the noise you are describing I am guessing they are Chinnocks.  therefore odiham.

if you need more assistance, then Pm me 


Jay, benson doesnt have noisy helicopters, and the only ones that can fly that  low over wallingford to have such an effect will be the police or ambulance one.

Hmmm, Benson's merlins and pumas aren't really quiet when low. But yeah a Chinook is more of a chap chop thud sound.

Reminds me of the Welsh Farmer story years ago that got fed up with low level flights disturbing his cattle, so much so that he wrote 'piss off biggles' on the top of his house/in one of his fields (can't remember which). Needless to say every flyboy flew over to take a look!
