UK State Visit from the USA
The BBC news site is reporting there is going to be an upcoming UK State Visit for the US Barack Obama along with Mrs Clinton, does anyone have an idea if they will be using STN again?

If it's a full-scale State visit I suspect that Heathrow will be used.

Stansted is the nominated port of entry for this circus nowadays. There was just too much disruption at Heathrow with too many people missing flights and costing lots of money.
