Random flyer seen eating hat?
Interesting article in the Torygraph that
I think the Conservatives were plain wrong on R3 at LHR, the jobs and investment during construction would have been a useful boost to the construction industry if timed to follow the end of the heavy build phase of the Olympic sites.
I don't buy the green argument on LHR what is green about holding inbound as a routine most days? this just does not happen else where in Europe, back at min clean at 8000 feet is very un green.
I would have built a full length runway but restricted the type of aircraft to nothing bigger than a A321/737-800 and made it domestic & European only. That way you would keep the noise down remove the holding but still have a full length runway when either of the others are out of service for any reason.
Interesting that the paper speculates that bmibaby might "step in on the GLA STN route"
