Thanks Tableview- I'll look that up (although they seemed more than happy to bulldoze Hammondsworth, Sipson and Harlington for the original runway three proposals).

The land adjacent to Junctions 14/15 of the M25 could also hold a runway and failing that, the reservoirs themselves could be scrapped to make way for expansion. I'm sure these options have been considered but why were they rejected? If not expanding Heathrow is going to cost the UK economy as much as some posts elsewhere on PPrune suggest, will they perhaps be reconsidered?
