STOP Stansted Expansion 2008 Community Calendar was launched in Broxted on Friday.
The unveiling of the sixth calendar took place at 'Oakmeads', the Cousins' family home, which is a
16th-century thatched, timber-framed cottage that is featured on the cover.
SSE campaign director Carol Barbone, said: "The reputation of our calendar is now well established and provides a powerful daily reminder of the communities, countryside and heritage threatened by expansion plans for the airport.
"It is also a vital part of SSE's fund-raising programme. Sales last year raised a total of £27,000 for the campaign fighting fund."
Sarah and Andrew Cousins, who have restored Oakmeads from dereliction over the last 14 years, live less than two miles from the north-east end of Stansted's runway.
