LTNman -
You speak good sense - but I honestly do not see that over-expansion will ever become an issue for Southend. What with Nestuda Way, the railway line, the retail park (bet they regret that now!!), and - obviously - the runway limitations - there will simply not be scope for Southend to develop beyond the already stated Stobart aims. And I think those aims will be in touch with the feelings of the majority of the local Rochford / Southend population.
With reference to Expressflight's post re the FIFA plane - there is a photo of this - VERY - colourful - plane on the Southend Airport Facebook page.
