Photos taken recently in arduous conditions
Photo shows nicely why Taxiway Delta remains closed with the temporary fence moved to the edge of the taxiway in the top left hand corner. Also note that a new road has cut the corner off the new apron.
General view of the progress on the new apron.
The new apron will be L shaped with a retaining wall against the Southern Apron that then runs north until the wall meets the dropping land where the wall ends.
Looking at where the two aprons meet, it can be seen that due to the retaining wall running north, this section will have restricted aircraft access. Maybe just for biz jets? The existing lighting tower that was speculated to be in the middle of the apron is now on the edge due to this wall.
Day one. Now occasionally open to the public.
