With all the talk of new runways, it is instructive to think of just how few have been built over the years.
I can think of Liverpool in the 1960s, Edinburgh in the 1970s, London City in the 1980s and Manchester this decade. Anyone think of any more?
Bearing in mind the earlier two were effectively replacements rather than additions, it makes you realise just how little new build investment there has been. Compare this with roads over the period.
