BAA still making plans to resurrect dead runway
In message
.homeip.net, at 16:08:00 on Tue, 8 Jun 2010, Paul Cummins remarked: It would have been far better to have accepted this in the 1960's and 70's and reclaimed enough land in the Thames estuary to build a new London International Airport, as indeed we did in Hong Kong to replace Kai Tak. That sounds curiously like the plan to build Maplin Airport (whose only tangible legacy seems to be an electronics company that latched on to the name in case it became world famous). After much debate they moved the concept to Stansted, which is in effect Heathrow's third runway and doing quite nicely thank you. -- Roland Perry |
