I'd better not tell my hubby, Dad or brothers about this; they'll be down there like a shot! We live about 45 mins from Exeter. Thanks for that, Avril. Will copy and paste it.

The RAF are to move their low flying training squadron to Exeter in 4 weeks time. The planes all supersonic jets include the Harrier, Eurofighter and Tornado will all practice nightly for the next 2 years running up to 3 sorties a night. The base will reopen a disused WW2 airstrip on the outskirts of Exeter. The local topography of the area is similar to that of many Arab states. The MOD spokesman Captain Windrush commented “with the current unstable climate in the Middle East we need to be able to fly fast and low in any condition, here in Exeter is a perfect training area and suits us well.” Residents of the area are up in arms as the noise pollution will be immense. A recent study by the Berlin University of Psychology has published know side effects of such bases, these include: Sleep Deprivation Cardiac Arrests Crazed Wife Syndrome Animals unsettled Souring of Cow milk Premature births Tinnitus The MOD recognises the initial acclimatisation will be tricky and have offered free ear plugs to anyone who lives within 20 miles of the base. Captain Windrush mention that 'there is not a great deal they can do about the reverberations that shake the houses like an earthquake as they pass over head at 800 feet moving at 700 knots”. He mentioned that it might be useful to fit bed edge guards to stop people being shaken out of bed during the night and it might be worth checking all pictures are securely fixed to the walls.
