My view too and this is precisely the point. The council's plans are predicated on levels of traffic that can only be achieved if services to Glasgow/Edinburgh/Inverness/islands other than Coll/Colonsay/Tiree are established, and at least the Gla/Edi/Inv routes could not in my view be done with enough regularity unless they were IFR. The doubt about a usable IAP goes to the heart of the whole project's credibility.
