Interesting, that's the first adverse comment on its noise that I've
seen. Most people have said how quiet it was, relative to its size I
assume. (Personally, I was too busy taking photos to notice.) How did
it compare with the two British Airways 747s that used the same runway
in the previous 20 minutes?
Probably about the same as a 747 I would have said - I was expecting it
to be significantly quieter. But the strongly gusting cross-winds may
have caused a problematic approach. As you mentioned, there were some
"interesting" approaches to Heathrow yesterday afternoon - almost
crab-like in some cases - I was in the garden trying to retrieve the
roof that had blown off my bike shed
