Stansted is the only one that had the foresight in the '80s to acquire the land to construct a second runway. It's purchase at the time was 'sold' to the local people as a buffer to prevent residential construction and therefore noise pollution. In fact the 800 acres is there for another runway as and when approved. I know because I was there.
