Why waste money on a Royal Commission. Any recommendations would be noted, filed and ignored. Airfields are designed by road “expert” engineers without knowledge of aircraft usage.
At YMBA after completion and the final party millions had to be spent uprooting culverts and reshaping the slopes off the taxiway. And they couldn’t even make that straight or minimise the turn angles. At the western end the holding point is in the wrong place and allows only a look for traffic one way.
It used to be so flat you could use anywhere.. not any more. A Suez canal with launching bund to the south and drains and ditches everywhere else.
