That is bloody brilliant news! Well done to all involved... suppose I'll have to contend with the fix wingers on wet days now too
!
It was nice having the field to ourselves when it was waterlogged, and hearing the RT "airfield closed to fixed wing".. but so unfair on the fixed wing guys - it is a brilliant airfield, very friendly and excellent facilities.
Can't wait for them to get started on it.
As for MBB, had no interaction with the man myself - but there appears to be no shortage of rumours / aggrieved people floating about. However... he has fought hard for the runway and got it, something he should be thanked for.
