Should some kind of really unparallelled logjam happen (like after the WTC attacks), is there no contingency to be able to use other runways in the South East - not just Gatwick and Stansted, but Brize, Boscombe, Benson and Bleedin' Lyneham - and that's just the Bs?
After the real-life logjam of the M25, and the resulting lack of access for ambulances, is there any provision for increasing HEMS capacity by pressing military rotary wing assets into use?
Just two post-pub, rather pissed-up thoughts....
