A procession of aircraft climbing or descending over the centre of a densely populated capital city is a risk for disaster that should be diminished rather than increased. The hinterland access to Heathrow is already over-loaded and congested: one presumes that the cost of increasing this capacity is going to fall on the national tax-payer. Heathrow is a nightmare airport that most of us try to avoid. In the dissolution of the BAA airports into independent companies we have lost sight of a national strategy, including development of the major regional airports: we don’t all live in the Metropolitan South-East!
