In conclusion, forget Cat 3, its pie in the sky and will remain so for the forseeable future. You will remain discommoded on foggy days. thats the plain reality of it.
So, 25/07 would have to be extended first. Which raises the question of whether it would be possible to extend 25/07, install Cat III and turn that into the main runway.

Obviously in 2070 when the debt has finally been cleared :-(
