SF182

TLC is NOT a flying club, it is a re-fuelling and handling company. So you cannot put it in the same bracket as your average UK flying club. You would not receive tea/coffee and biscuits at Cumbernauld; Perth; Glerothes etc when you buy fuel.

So would you say that these are some of the changes for the better that have taken place since the development:

1) Closure of the most in to wind runway
2) Lack of parking (ie. as shown on the weekend of the Glenforsa fly-in)
3) Steeper landing fees and longer PPR requirements
4) More fireman than at Heathrow Airport
5) Unnecessary new runway with unnecesary lighting and unnescessary NDB/DME
6) A reduction in visiting aircraft numbers by 60% at least
7) Need I continue...?

Islanders have been flying in and out of Connel , Coll and Colonsay for years with no problems so why was it necessary for £9 million to be spent which now only allows the same aircraft to operate under the same circumstances?

So SF182 where are the benefits that you were talking about, because I for sure cannot see any obvious ones?

Best regards
