Quote: "If you look at the maps of LHR, there is space for 2 full length runnways nearby, but the real problem is aircraft noise in the flightpath area, hence why I feel at a new airport (either by the thames or at the Aylesbury region) is the best solution"

Aylesbury is much too far out! Let's face it, "London-Aylesbury" would get as much flak and derision as "London-Oxford" (Kidlington).

No need to mention the Thames again.

Agreed, that's why it has to be LHR expansion: it can be done relatively quickly, the infrastructure is in place, the hub is already established.
