What's the plans for the Enterprise House car park ? Looks like they are making another entrance so i presume they will block the gap between upper and lower and make it 2 seperate car parks ??

From the plans circulated to local residents the Titan hangar and a single linked taxiway appear to remain, at least initially, with almost all remaining area north of a line running east from from Harrods to the Fire training area earmarked for long term car parking. A new public border road is planned to by-pass Burton End (running approximately along the line of the current airfield boundary, linking up with the minor road to Elsenham east of the Fire training area.
Someone mentioned earlier the building of the visitor centre; its access will be from the current LT car park mini-roundabout and located close to the 05 threshhold. Its location, for the majority of the year, will only give views of the undersides of departing aircraft and very limited views of most arrivals on 23. The BAA (unsurprisingly and arrogantly) ignored offers of help from the local (enthusiast) community with its design, location and help to build something useful which has been long overdue at Stansted. Consequently BAA have missed a good opportunity to win friends and have a potential white elephant in the making.

From this it appears that the coach park will remain north side until 2015 if it is designated as an ancillary service
Additionally my information about the new link road, which is not shown on the map, came from a BAA leaflet issued to local residents.

Well ThomsonFly/FCA/TUIFly what ever it’s to be called have 2 B738’s to be based @ STN Summer 2009. The programme so far (Edition 1) Looks like this….
Antalya (New for TFly) Friday
Arrecife (Lanzarote) Thursday
Bodrum (New for TFly) Monday & Thursday
Corfu Monday & Friday
Dalaman Monday & Thursday
Faro (New for TFly) Sunday
Fuerteventura Saturday
Heraklion (Crete) Tuesday & Sunday

Rhodes (New for TFly) Wednesday
Tenerife South Fridays
Zakynthos (New for TFly) Tuesday
Note that “New for ThomsonFly” was probably previously operated by FCA Summer 2008.
New destination of Kephalonia and increased frequencies on some routes, so for a base that was supposed to close (TOM) that’s a bit of a turn around at least!

Stansted Control Tower!
What a shame it has gone!! I had the privilege to work in that building from 1969 until 1973! I was there when the "new terminal" was built and the "old terminal became the staff canteen!! At times the new terminal was too small, even then! Remember Channel, Lloyds, American Flyers, Saturn, Trans Med with their CL 44's doing charter flights to Ostend and other near European destinations! Memories!! How times move on, but the memories of Stansted as it was in the late 60's and early 70's remain! Good luck to all that work there now and may it be as good for you now as it was for me then!!

DAZ - Don't think timing of EOS slots are prime to the likes of FR and U2 as they had no departures during the first wave period. It may mean some "tweaking" by 15mins or so during mid-morning tho'.
