And one here for the history buffs: being a bit of an old giffer, I can remember when Brymon Airways (a long gone local airline based at the almost gone Plymouth Airport) did a demonstration flight into London Docklands to prove that a small airport or STOLport could be viable. They took one of their Dash7’s and did some landing and take off runs at Heron Quays which is now an mix of office blocks, very expensive apartments and some waterfront parkland but back then really was a disused dock. “Look Ma, no runway” and certainly no ILS… :
