Post Impact of new London Airport

Today's paper carries news that our joke transport secretary, Stephen Byers, will today tell parliament of a new site for a possible new airport - at Cliffe, east of Gravesend.

The resulting TMA expansion will no doubt effectively wipe out operations at my home airfield, EGTO, and would probably add to complications at EGKB. What a nightmare.

The only good news is that it will probably take years to come to fruition. Let's hope:. .1. Medway council show their customary hostility to aviation, and. .2. AOPA lobby hard on our behalf.
