I stand corrected about the BA Director of Ground Ops - I just read what BA's Investor Relations website says:

Additional point about Wycombe's grass runway 17/35 is that it has been NOTAM'd as closed until the Spring. So, I guess with prevelant Winter Northerlies around, there'll be plenty of practice for crosswind takeoffs & landings over the next few months.
