Can you explain where that figure of nearly £3,000 comes from?
As I understand it there was a survey done a couple of years ago at an Oxfordshire base into the costs of performing PDs at various airports in the UK & that was the price quoted for an approach to go-around. Price was, admittedly, for the larger size of aircraft but no ‘military discount ‘ was offered. Maybe they offer a discount for the more petite aircraft?
But it does explain why large mil transports are a rare sight at Liverpool but relatively common down in Newquay.
