People moan but the airport was there when they bought the houses. So, which came first? Having served in the RAF I became quite used to it and enjoy seeing the aircraft. The airport is owned by us residents so I see it as a revenue boost every time an aircraft uses the place. I see that Speke Airport ( sorry John Lennon) has changed hands but council still own a minor portionof the site.

Re: light air craft Posted by Ronnie on 26/10/2025, 12:32:43, in reply to "Re: light air craft" Board Owner I visited RAF Scampton when I was 14, I was staying with relees in Lincoln - I remember seeing the Vulcan Bomber there. I'm sure I saw a Lightning jet at RAF Woodvale as a display at the entrance to the base. The RAF fly over Port Ellen all the time, transports and jets. The noise from the jets is scary, I 'm sure they fly too low - The jets are always in pairs, you hear them long before you see them.
