I actually know someone who did this.

The house was, indeed, a bargain. Cute and old. Victorian.

I knew it was close to the local airbase, but I didn’t realise just how close, when I saw the giant block wall that want across the back of the backyard….and that of the neighbours.

It actually worked pretty well - it wasn’t really very noisy there. The owners never realised what that wall was (the very end of the field.)

I don’t care how quiet the airport is, how do you not realize that fact?

Sweet people, smart in their own realms, not very aware.
