Heathrow 3rd Runway planned

- 23-Nov-2007
Yes folks, just when the debate about global warming seems to become based on hard evidence, that private Spanish owned organisation British Airports Authority (BAA) have sucker-punched the Government into thinking a third runway at Heathrow is a good idea.

So never mind the extra emissions - they are magically not going to be a problem despite another proposed 300,000 odd aircraft movements annually.

But equally important for us, the flightpath for the proposed runway will be just north of us. See the flight paths here:

Takeoff flight paths
Landing flight paths

Anyway, a consultation document arrived through your letterbox recently, but if you didn't get it or want an electronic equivalent, here it is on the Department for Transport website.
