Infact, it looked just like a simple new tarmac layer onto what was the disabled parking area. It may be just that simple, who knows?.
Seeing that the runway has now been resurfaced the resurfacing gang have turned their night shift attention to the short-term car park. They will also resurface a small strip in the staff car park before the end of the month.
It is ironic after years of moaning about the state of the short term car park I am now disappointed to see it being resurfaced as it does not look like a new apron will be built here. It might just be the case that as the guys are getting paid anyway they might as well do something particularly if there is surplus material.
Someone here must know what is going on???
