Indeed. And a mile or so to the east of the terminal, buried in the mud of the River Roach, lies what remains of HMS Beagle. Charles Darwin taught us that being adaptable vastly increases your chances of survival. For example, a small flexible airport would be in prime position to take advantage of possibly vastly reduced numbers of those able to afford a flight to the continent.
Covid, global warming and a huge chasm between the haves and have nots could conspire to wipe out the opportunity for the masses to fly vast distances for less than the cost of a pub lunch.
Perhaps huge airports would would not be able adapt to an elite requiring fewer than 30 departures a day.
Remember when there wasn’t enough to go round for the dinosaurs.......
