Did anyone go to the stakeholder meeting at Kidlington this week? Any feedback?
if those activities have an environmental impact.

Very useful thanks, looks like Oxford average around 3500 movements/month in the summer period, so roughly 100-120 / day on average of which just under half are training.
No stats for Brize Norton unfortunately. As far as I can see from published data they are around 20-30 flights/day mid week and very few flights at the weekend.

That was in the days of VC10/Britannia/Tristar Ops at Brize...

Rather more than 20 years ago if Britannias were still operating out of Brize. The RAF retired the type in 1975.

Which means we can see the big stuff and keep out of its way, reducing the “protection” which we both need.
