Consultation. It could affect YOU.

Has anyone else noticed how links take the same PPUK page so the forum is lost?
I know you can use a right click but it would be so much better if links opened in a new window.

Nothing to do with the php software, it is the way the web is moving as a whole, web 2.0 protocol says that opening a new page is not the done thing, it is the same on the main site and all other web sites that have built using web 2.0 principles.

Whatever - it's a bit of a pain and people should be aware.

Right click and open a new window or you could find you've lost PPUK.

Anyhow - back to the issue, which potentially could affect a large number of people currently unaffected by aircarft noise:

NATS Airspace Change Consultation
Proposals to redraw the South East aircraft route map are published for public consultation by NATS


The four main objectives in the Terminal Control North (TCN) airspace change proposal (ACP) are to:

reduce congestion over Brookmans Park in Hertfordshire caused by converging departure routes from Heathrow, Luton, London City and Northolt.
relocate and separate the holding facilities for Luton and Stansted to accommodate their growth. The airports currently share two holds; under these proposals each would have a dedicated hold and Stansted an additional hold.
introduce continuous descent approaches (CDA) where aircraft stay higher for longer, reducing fuel burn and noise, for Stansted's easterly runway.
formalise arrival and departure routes for London City to reflect the growing number of jet aircraft using the airport, and to provide a new hold.
NATS has divided the consultation region into five areas to make it easier for people to understand what effect, if any, it may have on them. These five areas are Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and North East Essex; Chilterns and Luton; East Hertfordshire and West Essex; West and North West London; East London and South East Essex.

The consultation period closes on May 22. All feedback will be submitted to the Civil Aviation Authority which decides whether the proposed change can go ahead. If approved, the change would not become operational before Spring 2009.

Can someone explain how it is a post I made (perfectly uncontentious) in this thread a short while ago has vanished?

Are we being censored?

I find that using the Back arrow takes me back to the PPUK page.

Not always - best use the right click and open new page (at least in IE).
