[quote=yeoman]1. CVT has had flooding problems recently. Don't know if this is still the case.
Are you sure about this? Coventry is built on a huge deposit of sand and gravel and usually drains exceptionally well as a result. It was one of the few airfields that played host to heavy bombers in the second world war whilst only having grass runways. It was not considered necessary to put down hardened runways because it drained well.
