Programme obviously made some time ago and kept on file waiting for aviation safety to become a hot news item again, so it could be wheeled out with the 'shock horror' tabloid tackiness that is the mark of so many local news journos.

Interesting they didn't get anywhere near the large jets they were so fond of showing clips of, but were restricted to wandering about amongst the light a/c several hundred yards away (or a "short sprint" as the journo put it - like to see you try love). The 'look how close we are' camera work was also taken from behind a security fence at times, so a complete anticlimax there too.

Complete tosh and nonsense. She might as well have said that she was able to book a trial flight with the local club without any security check, and was able to share the runway with these jets only 'feet' away.
