A third runway at LHR might well benefit MME but only if they bin APD there will never be international flights from MME but there is a need for flights to hubs be it AMS or LHR the Goverment just doesn't get it and that dippy mare Greening is a joke, was it not Barbra Castle who was appointed transport secretary and she couldn't drive ?
Now we have a minster with responsibilities for Aviaition who feels she would have to resign if the government backed a 3 rd runway at LHR well get on with it I say !
My bet is we will get R3 but not for another 5 wasted years
