St Mawgan is up for sale from, I believe, early 2005, when the MOD pull out.
I can't see that the beleagured Cornish rate payers would tolerate subsidising a regional airport that can only attract 2 flights a day from Stansted, no matter how long it takes by road or rail to travel to London or anywhere else.
Prior to Ryanair, the town thrived with tourism of the proper and decent kind, it's these people who actually "invest" a lot more money into the region by spending two weeks holiday there, than the vast majority of the B.A or Ryanair passengers.
Let the poor little spoilt brats who are the vast majority of Ryanairs NQY passengers, take their surfboards and drugs by road, it will take them so long to get there, by the time they arrive they'll have forgotten why they went in the first place.
At least it will return to being a decent place to take the family, and the residents of Newquay might be able to get some kip at night.
