How on earth can land in the new runway area, which was for sale, not have been bought already by BAA, they should have been buying up all the land, houses etc available as they came on the market for years now. Has their fabled "market acumen" once again been shown by them being cheeseparing with buying the land required, and they have let it fall into the hands of their enemies ? Heads should roll in their estates department if they have done this to save a bit of cash.
