Ultimately, shouldn't the BAA when it took control of ABZ in the 70s not have built its shiny new terminal on the east side of the airport, leaving the west side clear for future expansion? Plus the railway station at Dyce could also have been the stop for ABZ, it being...on the east side!
Heck, they could even have kept 23/05 (or 24/06 as it was) clear for fixed wings, instead of having a helicopter complex at the end of the line!
Or is that hindsight.
The 2 Shorts reminds me of the story about a Lady Controller here having a pilot slipping in behind her Shorts (that were on finals ahead of him). Can't be a true story...can it???
