Which was only a pretence conjured up by Harold Balfour and others in order to establish a fact on the ground - i.e. a big aerodrome - using wartime requisition powers. meme They only built Windsor castle at the end of the runway later. /meme From the kerfuffle about where to put the third London Airport, if people had objected to Heathrow's expansion, we'd perhaps be stuck with one of the world's busiest International airports in the middle of Croydon. |
