El Al Aircraft  Incident at Heathrow

Here is a link to the report on the incident with the low flying El Al flight. Would this have meant it would have crash landed in Hammersmith? William will probably be able to answer this.http://www.aaib.dft.gov.uk/publications/bulletins/september_2006/boeing_747_412__4x_els.cfm

Yes, Isleworth can be noisy!..sometimes before 5am!

I work in Kew ...... I just couldn't live there though (anyway, I love Hammersmith) with the noise of the planes overhead.  Sometimes you just cannot talk on the telephone.

For mus yes - but those in Kew and Isleworth may not be so happy.  My sister had a house in Isleworth and if one were in the garden conversation was impossible with the planes passing overhead.  She managed to sell it - eventually.

That's a relief (for Hammersmith)

According to the flight report it was on glide path onto runway 27R - I presume the northern 27/18 runway, in which case it would not have passed over Hammersmith.
