In regards to the room question, sadly the beloved ISTAR requirement reduced that to 4 people in the back. Yes thats right, there is NO real lift capacity, forgetting Section level movement, remembering that 12 is more the requirement these days, they didn't even push for Stretcher capacity, LET ALONE MORE THAN ONE. Well done all involved.
PS. And before any policy making industry types start bitching about looking to the future, then maybe you would like to read a few books on past conflicts, we ignore history at our peril. Obvious as it may be......
We have moved AH to Wattisham, a sound move IMHO. Maybe the next step would be to centralise ALL lift, like the Brize Norton idea.
