MAYOR QUESTION TIME:
Thames Estuary airport
Question No: 2032 / 2008
Jenny Jones
Will the study being undertaken by GLA officers in to your proposal for an airport in the Thames Gateway consider the difficulties to construction that could be posed by the wreckage of liberty ship SS Richard Montgomery, which sank off the coast of Sheerness in 1944 carrying a cargo of explosives, around 1,500 tons of which are reportedly still on board the wreckage?
Answer from the Mayor:
Thank you for highlighting this important issue.
I will make sure that my officers consider the implications of this in their current evaluation of Thames Estuary airport options.

Funny that Boris should embark on his cock-eyed proposals without knowing of the existence of this wreck, which if exploded, would take a fair bit of the coast with it.
