There's a few of us picking away round the edges of Heathrow, but it looks like more using Yahoo imagery (which is a bit old for the area) than actually getting physically round the the area. Leaving quite a bit of it still blank. Which is a shame for several reasons: the Heathrow area tends to get used to illustrate articles, and that doesn't make osm look good; the Heathrow area is massively in the news over the new runway, and Sipson ought to be fully mapped before they start trying to bulldoze it - and it would be good for us if we had the best maps of the area showing people actually live there; and terminal 5 is launching soon and we don't have it yet...

But what to do about it? The geography means there isn't a single focal point for a mapping party. And some of the area isn't the most pleasant anyway - lots of fast roads and long-term planning blighted areas. Oh well, keep plodding on I guess. I may abandon my core Hounslow stuff and start doing the southern edge of Harlington and Hayes for a while.
