Hi. Everyone.
Back in the "ether" again - this time as your scribe to everything Burton Joyce & Bulcote. Spent some time these last few months establishing a blog content format and now after a couple on months trialling have created some content with an ongoing theme so here it is ...if you are comfortable lets begin
AIRCRAFT OVERHEAD In Our AIRSPACE
This is one of my pet grumbles - Some 2 years ago now I complained to the County Council and East Midlands Airport Authority about the intrusions into airspace not designated for commercial/passenger air traffic ( over BJ). The result of my complaint was.... complete silence from the E M Airport and some minor and ongoing noises (after a appointed meeting in the BJ Library with County Hall councillors).....
"What is your problem you may say.?" My problem is the possibility of a potential significant Air incident over our area which is not officially designated or accepted as official air corridors for "Low Flying" passenger flights. Looking into the sky from Burton Joyce it appears that many Passenger Jets now frequently take a landing circuit line over and down ( N to S) Shearing Hill, onto a course over the Trent in the vicinity of the Ferry Boat Pub, then over Radcliffe and into air space over Stanton/Keyworth and onto Donnington. The potential problem appears to peak at evening/holiday returns into EMA . Often simultaneous flights appear to be coming into the area from the South and into the airspace/junction which frequently has multiple and simultaneous returns from opposing directions, so much so that many deviations to a normal incoming flight paths are deviated in the final stages of their standard landing approach ...........We have actually had large Passenger Jets pass really low over our home ( usually in the late Autumn and around 10.00pm <12.00.)

Oh!. To cap it all I should also add, that, just over a year ago, whilst up on our roof at night star gazing, we saw the brightly lit SPACE CENTRE and the equally lit bright USA SPACE SHUTTLE chasing it - it was appeared over BJ, travelling from NW. to SE. at approx 10.40pm. It is no joke I assure you. However, I will say that a possible sighting had been publicised earlier in the day on the Local TV News programme >
