I was being lazy when I referred to smog I should have referred to air quality, in December 2020 a coroner Philip Barlow, the inner south London coroner has made legal history by ruling that air pollution was a cause of the death of a nine-year-old girl. .............I agree the urban obsessiveness will run the narrative, I would suggest in addition to air quality pollution, we will soon be feeling the effects of restrictions on noise pollution and the noisy ICE will be in for a tough time. There already exist restrictions on vehicle noise in London at certain times of day. When we operated twin turbo prop HS 748 aircraft 30 odd years ago, we had to fit 'hush kits' for evening freight and Royal Mail operations and could never get permission to fly into Heathrow............too noisy.
