My my we have been busy! I never thought that so many of us could have been at the same place at the same time, spooky. But just to clarify a couple of points. I am me and no one else, so I just use one nickname.So Vanessa my dear, if you can't stomach the fact that everyone else has seen through BP, then maybe its you thats on the wrong planet! We can't all be wrong. Oh, and I can see that you miss directed the radio comment this way but I hate to disappoint you, I know exactly what you're talking about, I have held an Ground/Air radio operators licence since 1986. Allthough I'm only a humble PPL, I am pushing towards 1000 hours P1. I first landed at Caernarfon in 1976 and had the privilege to have known and befriended Mr Jim Keen, Capt Ray Blyth, Mr Gareth Aggett and the late Alistair Lynn-Macrae who were all managing directors in their time and all true professionals. I am very proud to be able to say that I, along with a very small band of equally enthusiastic GA pilots were there when it counted. Who do you think was there when this airfield was clawed back from oblivon? I wonder where you were in 1976. This is no vendetta Venessa! This is the way it is. Atlantic ran a safe airfield cause the CAA said so in the annual audits, they all virtualy had clean sheets. In the last 5 years, Mike Collet spent £100,000 on 02-20, £40,000 on refurbishing the restaurant and countless thousands more on other projects. So, by any standard, it was not run down. Now to a more pressing point. I am ALL for GA, I have owned 3 A/C and I actively take part in GA, but what I can't support is an idiot that thinks he can operate an airfield as a theme park. Cars and A/C do not mix as I have already said. Get Mr BP to do the honourable thing and get out whilst the going is good, otherwise he might make a name for himself in the national news and in the files of the AAIB. Oh, and by the way, I do hold a qualification certificate issued by the Institution Of Occupational Safety and Health, so I know what is dangerous or not! May the CAA act with haste before some innocent person pays the ultimate price for BP incompetence.
