hurricanemk1c 195 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Quite. Just done an assignment at college on whether to expand Heathrow or Gatwick, going into details such as access and performance. Far more interesting than that video (and Part 2) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 He could get a job as a reporter for Fox News. You're right. If Bob Beckel, Juan Williams, Alan Colmes and Geraldo Rivera could, he certainly could. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,253 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Not wanting to join in a discussion on where a new airport should go, I did enjoy the mini history about the airports. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Opening statement... "London has more airports than any other city in the world." I don't think so, bub... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ddavid 149 Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Excellent catch, Nigel. Pam and I enjoyed the repartee a lot. Loved the comment about City: "... Only used by w*nk*rs..." or was that 'bankers'? BTW, I think the guy meant international airports? Even L.A. Doesn't have 6 - although both Southend (did you hear the Ian Dury mini-trubute?) and Biggin Hill aren't really Intl's in the accepted sense, I guess. Cheers - Dai.

britfrog 180 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I had my planes based at biggin international , however they are not allowed to operate scheduled services as part of their agreement with croydon council, so that put the only scheduled international flights up the swanee and they were operated by a chieftain and navajo and aztec to far flung places like Deauville and Dieppe etc However big a/c do land there from time to time , I remember one evening flying in to the bump, to find about 30 737's and 757's parked all over the place and thousands of lost tourists waiting for coaches as heathrow and Luton had been closed due to fog, i wish mobile phones back then had cameras, it was quite a sight.
