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.
It may drain well through the grass but traditionally we try and stay off that! There were problems with the drainage gullies for the runway.
Anyway, commercial alternate for a commercial operation? Where is the problem. Tight Slot moving the post? Where is the problem? TFly aircraft diverting from LBA to MAN? Where is the problem? Well in this case it is with the poster who is talking poo. The aircraft is based at LBA and an engineer is attached to it (not literally before anyone asks).
So chaps and chapesses, lets have a bit of informed debate rather than numpties seeing the big TFly screw the punters conspiracy theories. It's getting tired and so am I because you are calling into question the professionalism of my colleagues. So off you go and play in the sand at CVT.
