Land earmarked for the construction of Heathrow's third runway has been bought by anti-expansion protesters.
Land the size of 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.
They say plans to increase flights at the airport from 480,000 to 720,000 would create unacceptable noise and pollution.
But the airport industry, business and union leaders say Heathrow's expansion is vital for the British economy's long-term competiveness
