I TOO have had much the same experience as Robin Gibbons (Postbag, December 11) when complaining of the increasing aircraft noise in the Salisbury area.

In the past year there has been a significant increase in what appear to be the same few aircraft in the same area. It may not be just Wilton but there is a constant drone of these low-flying planes as they encircle the town throughout weekends and at other times, particularly on Sundays from 8.30am until early evening, denying many of us the enjoyment of our homes and gardens.

Living next to an army training area a degree of aircraft noise is to be expected.

However we are now expected to tolerate the intrusive and at times intolerable noise of the few at a time when the majority seek peace and quiet.

One would not wish to stop all flying from Old Sarum but there should be a ‘flying etiquette’. The law protects us from selfish people who inflict on their neighbours loud music and the revving of motorcycle engines but the owners of the airfield and aircraft can, it seems inflict misery on a wider public with impunity.

I WOULD suggest that anyone averse to aircraft noise should not buy a dwelling in the vicinity of an airfield.
