This whole thing is just an example of what we do best in this country, "cobbling together and making do" you can pour billions into LHR but its still in the wrong place, continued development of this cast off from the post war era. It is in my view, very short sighted, we need to look ahead and do what the French and Dutch have done, build properly for the future. Take a large flat area, north of London, that can operate 24 / 7 without restrictions and without noise to millions of residents, and dont anyone dare say we have no space, that is utter c**p I fly all over the UK at low level and see the space we have, yes it may belong to the wealthy few, but that should not stop the government if its really serious about the UK competing with other hubs.
So what if R3 and T6 get built in years to come and they quickly fill ? where to next ? Scratching of heads "wish we had invested properly in the late 90s" was heard all round !!!
