Hi all,
My first post, but a subject close to my heart, St Mawgan must
not close for many reasons, not least its geographical positon,
its along way to the next long runway if you have a bit of a
problem, unless you fancy the barrier at little culdrose!.
Our tone
stated not so long that three bases would be
enabled for QRA aircraft, this was done at SMG, although not
yet used its there and ready. 203(r) leaving would not affect
the fact SMG caters for many visiting A/C, deployments, and
exercises,mil and civil,lack of the latter by the way would make
SMG not worth selling, even if they could sell it, which they can
not, there is one nearby land owner waiting at the fence
building plans in hand. Back to my first point, only last week
a SHAR made an emergency landing at SMG on a MAYDAY call,
Many A/C have been saved an uncertain fate under similar
circs over years, how much does it cost to keep SMG operating
compared to the loss of 1 A/C,and more importantly those on
board, sorry if Ihave gone on to long, but I better.
