Thames Water have plans for a ginormous reservoir near Abingdon and Didcot. Ironically enough, this was once a proposed area for a new 'London' airport....

But 15-18 seat Twotter flights from Abingdon Lake to a seaplane base at London City (53 nm as the crow flies) would be very convenient for many! 25 minutes from Oxfordshire to Docklands, perhaps? Particularly now that Viking have relaunched production of the aircraft.

If the reservoir has to be built, then bring it on!

Perhaps Farmoor Reservoir is already a possibility for such flights?
