Just to add to my previous comments. As 32/14 reports, the new generation of aircraft should be able to do much more from smaller runways, and that may indeed be our saviour for long haul. I can remember when Bks Airways Elizabethans diverted away from Leeds when the old shorter runway was wet and litttle has changed since then operationally, een now aircraft are still considering diverting when our runway is wet, but of course rules and regulations change all the time.
