| Model of the proposed Maplin Sands Airport development on show to the press in the 1970s. |
An article in The Guardian, '
King's Cross airport? The outlandish plans for London that almost got built' includes this photograph of a model of the once proposed Maplin Sands airport development, planned for the island of Foulness and the tidal sandbanks in the Essex Archipelago.
Read more about that with some fascinating (but frustratingly small) illustrations
here.
Friends of the Earth joined protests against the airport with their
Maplin Manifesto.
