Tain Range.

Good Day,

I don't often input much to the forum but this topic is close to heart and wondered what your opinions on the matter are and if, god forbid, the range was to close as a result, what alternative options are available. This story is linked here :

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/...ds/5412432.stm

and in addition has also been aired on STV.

Now I'm aware a lot of it is hype and the campaign is the "lovechild" of a local councillor,(who also happens to be a property developer), but in reality the range is far quieter today than it was 10years ago, it closes at 10pm rather than 11pm or indeed midnight as it used to at one stage and there are far less aircraft in the inventory these days to utilise it.

Thoughts please, for or against.

Ranger
