Hundreds of activists opposed to a third runway at Heathrow have staged a protest at Terminal 5. And it's no wonder. Not only is the environment at stake, but also an entire village. Sipson has not only the great misfortune to be placed bang in the middle of the proposed new runway, but the main exit road is to plough straight through an ancient graveyard, upsetting the living as well as the dead.
Now calm down. GonzoTech, as usual, has the answer. Not only that, but GonzoTech is proud to be able to kill several birds with one stone. All at the same time.
Here's the plan. We use the River Thames as the 'third runway', thus avoiding the necessity to destroy a village, whilst at the same time drastically improving commuting times to the City of London.
"That would be a dream come true!!!" an unknown source told GonzoTech today in overly-excited tones. "Not only could I be off the plane and in my office in less than ten minutes, but I could enjoy superb views of the London Skyline on the way."
Allegedly, we've been told by Airbus that they are working a more modern design as we speak, more suited to land on water. The updated A320 incorporates the novel idea of having wire mesh over the air intakes to the jets to prevent unauthorized entry by wildfowl. Pure Genius!
As if that wasn't enough (here at GonzoTech, it never is), we have liaised with the International Pilots Union to improve the ride. When the service is finally launched (the go-ahead for project is dependant on whether or not the end of the credit crunch will necessitate commuters to central London) passengers will be given the thrill of being flown under Tower Bridge, only moments before landing.
I just hope that stone of yours knocks out the birds before they actually go into the engine - ED
