I go back to the days of the Rosskill Commission in the late 1960s which recommended Cublington
And Maplin Sands among others. This was going on when I was still in basic training for the RAF. Now, a twelve-year stint for Her Majesty, followed by some twenty-eight years commercial, and twelve-years retirement, it's still being debated. I doubt if even my grandchildren will see a new runway in the southeast, let alone a new airport.
