Great news that the last hurdle has now been passed. Did not see any "no win/no fee" provision for the NIMBYs/tree huggers that contributed to the crowdfunding on the AXO wensite, so presume they will not get their money back!

When work finally commences would love to know the cunning plan for retaining the 20 displaced threshold in place. As its 45 metres from the beginning of paved surface the remainder of the 60 metre pre-threshold runway strip-end and RESA is grass, and therefore subject to excavation. If planned right it could be a case of night work to excavate/backfill to restore the surface for next morning's ops. This of course will also be the case for the 02 overrun strip-end and RESA.

Will be watching the AIS website for relevant NOTAMs to see if they manage to do it
