The complete lack of understanding of the difference between autoland and all weather ops shines forth once more. You can autoland on a suitable Cat I beam; Brize has one, it says so on the plate; I've done it. You can manually land in Cat II conditions, though Autoland is obvioulsly preferred. Look at the eqpt needed for Cat II vs Cat I (ac eqpt, not airfield); think you'll find there's little difference.

and I understood that it's the ASPs at Brize, not the runway, that are due for re-surfacing. Maybe they'll get the same guys as last time resulting in aircraft having to be towed onto the stand in case it sucked up on of the lovely block pavers! Oh, and have you noticed the number of driveways in Cartoontown that have strangely similar brickwork?
