And what, we hear you ask, is happening on the long-heralded new air service front? And well might you ask, for, apart from being a year or three behind schedule and a few odd million quid or so over budget, things have been ominously quiet for the last couple of months.
Well, don't hold your breath, but a wee bird tells us that the project could at long last have take-off before the month of June is out (the year wasn't specified...).
But what we can tell you for certain is that the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) flew in to the airstrip again on Tuesday last, to give the airport a "final inspection". This, we believe, went very well, and there appeared to be no significant obstacles in the way of the airstrip being granted its licence. Coll and Connell were to be inspected by the CAA on the days following, and if all went well there too, well, the project might at long last become a reality.
We shall of course bring you any breaking news in our next Issue.
