O6L 24R closed for some major maintenance (at night only), it's been going on for more than a week and I think the notam goes well into May...

Yes I know it is closed at night but this was yesterday morning when a BMI flight reported a large hole as he started his takeoff run and this was later found to be a light fitting which had broken and I think lifted some tarmac as well

Apparently, the bulk of the work is to upgrade rapid exit AE for use in LVP's. Currently only BD and A are available as exits in CAT3 conditions. I'm told that the Airport are also using the opportunity to upgrade for future use by A380. Saw some heavy working taking place in this area a couple of nights ago. The decorators were also out painting in a new runway centreline.
