Re: Noise complaint at RAF Valley

How long has this resident lived there? If it was before the RAF had jets based there he could complain, if not he has himself to blame as he knew that there would be noise. These sort really wind me up sometimes.

Those were great days. Not really knowing what was due was better than knowing the full arrivals list. The anticipation was a big part of arrival days.

Probably the greatest airshow ever on UK shores. The variety present will never be repeated. One of the best spotting weekends I ever had. Lovely shots, life long memories.
