Local MP Emily Thornberry lent her support as the airstream tour arrived in Islington

Today the intrepid airstream crew were in Islington talking to the locals about plans to expand Heathrow airport and increase flights over London by some 70%. The tour is part of our 'alternative' Heathrow expansion consultation.

This morning, we celebrated the opening of the international terminal at St Pancras - and reminded Gordon Brown that there's no need for that third runway at Heathrow.

Here's the video:

Yesterday, after months of hard work, we launched our Stop Heathrow Expansion tour. We're going to be travelling round London in a stylish airstream caravan, specially renovated to be our campaign HQ, to gather the voices of Londoners opposed to airport expansion.

We were due to set off yesterday morning at 7.30am; by 8.30, we still hadn't got out of the gates. We hadn't factored in the vintage (1971) of our tour vehicle, and some rusted up screws almost got the better of us. But with the help of some burly men with hammers, we finally got the airstream moving and rolled out of Greenpeace’s gates en route to Heathrow to meet press and activists.
