Land earmarked for the construction of Heathrow's third runway has been bought by anti-expansion protesters.

Land the size of half a football pitch near Sipson village - which would lose hundreds of homes in the expansion - was bought by a Greenpeace coalition.

They have pledged not to sell the land to the government or BAA if the airport expansion gets the go-ahead.

Greenpeace director John Sauven said: "We've thrown a massive spanner in the engine driving Heathrow expansion."

The campaigners - including actress Emma Thompson, Tory front bench spokeswoman Justine Greening, Lib Dem MP Susan Kramer and impressionist Alistair McGowan - bought the land for an undisclosed fee.
