I also came across this entry:
"February 4, 1954: A.T. Lennox-Boyd, British Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation, said, in a written Parliamentary reply, that development of the FIDO system, for dispersing fog over a runway by heat, had reached a stage where there were no major difficulties in construction. But experience with the only existing full-scale high-pressure FIDO system in the U.S. had cast considerable doubt on its efficacy as an acceptable aid to civil aviation."
In other words, build it and it still will come.
A search on google, wikipedia, and dogpile yielded no results on FIDO.
