My only experience of Dundee is hearing of the Airport manager prohibiting seaplanes from using the ramp on the southside, on some spurious Health and Safety grounds. Pity that as Dundee had the potential to service up to 6 floatplanes and be a centre of expertise.

Very forward looking - this has probably lost local engineering businesses some £40000 per annum and resulted in 2 floatplanes leaving Scotland (and the UK) due to lack of infrastructure and 'bloody obstinate just-say-no' attitudes like that. Give small people a title and they feel the need to push their weight around.

What would the Council say to turning away business like that ?
