Prestwick Pete has a makeover - happier and less scary

Noise complaint

Ground noise from Newcastle Airport is one of the "down sides" of living in Prestwick. Engine testing is usually the worst and if residents feel they are disturbed they should complain to keep downward pressure on the Airport management.

Easter Monday between 16.30 Hrs and 18.00hrs saw one of the first warm days of 2015 spoiled by noise from Engine testing.
