FLYING INTO LONDON AIRPORT

SIR,—Strix's suggested expression 'arriving by air' at London Airport is not only 'languid' and 'almost protocolaire.' It is also tautological. Have you ever tried to arrive at London Air- port by any other agency? The airport is an automobile anthill, crawling with every con- ceivable kind of self-propelled contrivance. Yet, apart from long- and short-haul air routes, its connection with the outside world is re- stricted to that afforded by two LTE bus routes.—Yours faithfully,
