HH, I am confusing absolutely nothing and have the scars to prove it. Try reading what I say, just for once and think from the confines of your fluffy armchair, read; instead of quoting liberal socialist garbage. Stop trying to obfuscate the issue of what I am trying to clarify for you - FGS - we are now going into 'Aldershot' according to your fantasy, where next, oh hang on, we could use EGVO thats only just down the road from there, they could catch one of those lovely trains you are so keen on oh hang on a minute, where is there nearest station?
If you showed just an ounce of common dog and thought about the rubbish you spout, you'd perhaps understand, that bringing Heathrow to a standstill by closing EGLL is not; and never will be an option, 18'ish hours a day, you have as many as 40 big aeroplanes landing at EGLL every hour, and a further 60 on the other side taking off, just think of the queues that involves in the airspace above, even on a normal day, did you know what a fabulous job they do controlling that lot? Add to that the countless helicopters needing clearances through or under that lot. Some of those big aeroplanes left their departure points 13 hours before! I have already tried to explain the reasons for not using LCA!
You would understand precisely what I am trying to say if you listened and answered my very simple questions to you. Do you have a vested interest in EGUW or Military Aviation or are you just on here to agitate. I once, yep, just once, did an ILS in a helicopter into EGLL I think the MOD is still trying to sort out the legal claims from all over the world, not to mention the slot times that I screwed up.
Well I can't be bothered anymore I'd rather try to educate pork. Feel free to come back with some other brilliant plan but I don't think you understand the geographical importance of EGUW and If it wasn't mentioned on SDR, (I certainly didn't read it)!!! I'm surprised, happen it wasn't mentioned for a reason. You certainly cannot lump it in with your 40 RAF stations you consider superfluous around the UK.
