Formerly RAF Finningley. Now home to the last remaining flying Vulcan bomber as well as being a commercial airport. At the moment the Vulcan, the UK Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster, and, for the very first time, the Canadian Lancaster, are on tour round the UK. http://www.vulcantothesky.org/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2qYl0evc2Y

Memories... The first jet airliner to arrive at Manchester Airport UK (then Ringway): Air France Caravelle. My brother and I got to walk through it: in at the back, out at the front. Must have been about 1960.

I was on business in San Francisco just after the DC-10 crash, booked back to Chicago on a DC-10 at 0700 3 days later. Shared limo driver ran late, I jumped out of it and ran in to the terminal at 0658, had to pick up tickets and run. They got my bag on the plane and a stewardess waiting at the gate said "We waited for you, Sir". Very few passengers. I soon realised that those on the plane that crashed had very probably watched it happening on the TV screens.

Develop Lyneham as a commercially close-coupled satellite of LHR. Current and other agreed investment in extra rail capacity (e.g. Crossrail, link from west into LHR, Reading station, electrification through Oxford, electrification of GW main line) should be added to with loop to a Lyneham Airport station. Also build a link from M4 and a new link road from the south. Could be done much more quickly than new airport.
