I already have a shot of a plane from the vantage point in Sipson where the 3rd runway will be built. I needed to see if I could find a shot of what it will be like for those that are left behind on both sides of the new proposed runway. So I went on Google Earth of course and tried to find where the closest houses where to the two existing runways. I found what I was looking for at Hatton Cross. As the planes came in I followed them closer and closer to the runway. I found about four houses literally right next to the tarmac. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a family drive up to one of the houses and get out with groceries and the days worth of shopping.
The noise was deafening.
I kept photographing and eventually a 747 came overhead. I said the 737 was loud? This was almost unbearable. And I didn’t do any funky lens tricks or anything folks. This is shot on a 28mm. That should give you an idea of where the plane is in relation to the ground/house/me.
UMMMM.
