For those of you enjoying the peace and quiet resulting from the lack of aircraft flying overhead due to COVID-19 restrictions, you may want to look at this flight mapping application of which I was recently reminded.

It will be interesting to see just how many aircraft fly overhead on a 'normal' day, and how many more would be overhead if Bristol Airport were to be expanded from 8 to 12 million passengers a year, including up to "operating within a rolling annualised cap of 4,000 night flights between the hours of 23:30 and 06:00 with no seasonal restrictions" as stated in the recent airport development application.with "flights every 3 minutes", as stated by the local Parish Council Airport Association.
