Meanwhile back in Newquay the local rag reports today that there was/is a suggestion that the EFA might be based at Newquay creating potential to keep the military side going and even creating new jobs.
So of course Cornwall County Council have objected on the basis that the aircraft might be too noisy and would possibly prevent the growth of passenger services.
Surely anything within reason that is going to help make the airport economically viable or give it a good reason to be there should be encouraged, you never know the grockles might even enjoy seeing the odd EFA flying overhead!
