Sir, I can't help but notice that following the reopening of the runway at RAF Brize Norton, Oxford is now situated under an increasingly regular flight path for aircraft in and out of the base.
While I like a flypast like the next man, is it really operationally necessary in the small hours of the morning? The overhead flight at 2.30am on Tuesday, June 20, is one recent example. If the European Court ruling that flights between 2330 BST and 0600 BST violated the human rights of residents in the vicinity of Heathrow, then logically should the same not be said for residents in and around Oxford and Brize Norton? The least they could do is use some coloured smoke.
