Heathrow expansion: Protesters take action
Home-owners in west London whose properties lie in the path of a proposed third runway for Heathrow have taken their fight to the people in charge.
Some residents of Harmondsworth, Hillingdon could have their properties compulsorily purchased for demolition.
In retaliation they targeted the director of corporate responsibility's house by laying a giant plastic runway across his drive.
Matt Gorman said he was "not happy" about the incident and said his family's privacy had been invaded.
