Manchester Expanding?

Here's a good one for rumours.

I've just been interviewed for a survey my a bloke from the DfT. The reason, aparently, is because I live under the flightpath of 24R at MAN.

He tells me that MAN have just had planning permission approved for a 4th terminal, which will be built where the Faireys apron (maintenence) is now.

And also that they have applied to build a 3rd runway. What was interesting about this is that according to this bloke it has something to do with the old dissused runway, now part of a taxiway, but a hangover from the triangulation days of the war.

As I work at MAN I find this surprising as I have not heard a peep about any of this from the usual sources. Anybosy know any more???
