I understand that we have benefited from a changeable approach path system so that the villages share the noise of incoming aircraft. I hope this is not going to be removed as it seems to have worked well. Naturally I am concerned that the disturbance does not increase if new plans are implemented. Some aircraft seem to come in extremely low and it is usually Emirates as you can see the name easily. I also notice an oily film on water in my garden which is near a road and in the surrounding fields which are not. I therefore presume this comes from aircraft. I also notice a distinct fuel smell overhangs us sometimes which is worrying.
