Oh! And when planning to visit, be aware of the wind direction and the airport Fire Fighting Training dates & times.
The new handling location is almost next door to the fire training ground and the simulated-A/C-thingy - Lots of lovely greasy choking black smoke - Just the place to welcome the executives and VIP's not to mention the GA paupers. Even the chaffinches and lapwings are starting to cough.
Can't see a 'handling office' building there just yet - perhaps an old portacabin or the hulk of one of the delerict airframes (Jumbo/Canberra etc) will be provided to protect visitors from the rain and smoke - who knows?

Agree with Yankee - The place is remote and, to some, difficult to find
