This sounds like a variation on the “Free Enterprise Group” proposal, except they only envisage the demolition of Bedfont and Stanwell!
Unlike the FEG proposal, it will not need building over the M25 and filling up further reservoirs, nor will it require the moving of Heathrow's current runways

this involves the demolition of West Drayton, a bigger town than either Bedfont or Stanwell.

In Middlesex actually, and these two towns are even bigger than West Drayton!

So, all in all, this involves the demolition of several towns with a combined population approaching 100,000. Well done.
Befont and Stanwell have been part of Surrey since 1965 because Middlesex no longer exists (most of it is part of Greater London with some parts in Hertfordshire and Surrey)

Also I doubt if the number of people that would have to move (if 6 runways where needed) is 100,000

Quote: “So only 2 reservoirs will need to be filled, surely we could cope with that”

Well that’s alright then.

As mentioned before, open land across the M25 is the answer (for a 4 rwy airport).
