sorry I forget how bloody precious the UK is with its PC talk.
I am called the Porrige wog at work and proud of it.
I do apologise for my none PC term.
As SAS says as long as its someone else that cops the blame they won't care. Be it WOP,WOG, or any other combination of letters.

Oats. The stuff that the English feed to their horses, and the Scots have for breakfast.

My objection is not to your politically incorrect terminology, just the appalling spelling and punctuation.

Dark green spaces left. Peculiar.

No worries - North Ledaig is a site for touring caravans. Apart from a few hardy souls who live in the things for one reason or another (rather like the Airstream next to the hangared Waco at Connel) the only caravans remaining there are for winter storage.

Perhaps ACS might see it as a good companion to their Perth operations.

I've never worked out how you make money out of an airport like Oban.
It seems inevitable that it will always need a big fat subsidy every year to cover costs whoever is running it.
Certainly savings could be made by combining jobs, but, the airport and the aircraft operator will still need substantial help. Will the money just come from a different drawer in ABCs piggybank?
DO.

If it's your ball and you're losing, take it home with you!
Could ABC close the airfield?
Legally, if they do have the power, then closing it is an option. No services, no need for it. No runway for the locals to fly from.
Nobody in power at ABC is going to suffer from that. So do the decent thing, come to a deal with the club and redo their lease to avoid the crazy situation that brought about their ability to build the fence. If they don't go along with that, then close the airfield.
Once a new agreement has been reached, ops can carry on free from worries.
Another option might be to close it and sell the land to PK to allow him to run his own airfield. No TUPE no issues, no licence, little or no fire cover, no bull****, just a friendly GA Airfield, that might just break even.

Would it still be a suitable field for gliding with a winch, microlights and planes or has the surface been messed up with lights and sign boards all over the place?

Whilst the surfaces are in excellent condition (although I wonder how long the lock block apron will last) the place has been pretty well messed up with lights and very large signs.
But it would be very easy to cut them off!
