Sunday was the first OK weatherday for sometime and many people turned up at Swansea for lunch, some armed with free landing vouchers and others having to pay the £12 landing fee, only to find the restaurant completly closed. There was not even a facility to have a coffee, just a cold drinks vending machine which, wasn't very appealing in January. Most quickly departed to Pembrey for lunch. It was rediculous state of affairs, as the airfield was generally very busy with arrivals and parachutists etc.
No explanation was offered but from the titbits I've picked up there and elsewhere, it appears to me that the owner (the owner of the now closed Air Wales) spontaneously closed the restaurant and (putting two and X together to get four) did so for health concerns. But I could be completely wrong!
It appears that they expect the restaurant to open again in the next couple of weeks.
