RT,
Dyce station was closed just in time for the Oil Boom to start.
Planning
The terminal was far too small when it opened in the 70's.I don't think the east side could have taken it.
Not sure about the Shorts story.I did hear about the lady controller who asked an aircraft what his speed was.190 kts was the reply.''Can you keep it up til 4 miles?''..............Certainly!!
