Risk Adverse Or Deteriorating Performance?

Perhaps my memory is too long, but I recollect that when the RAF operated Vulcans out of Finningley, the SATCO telephoned CFI EGNF to advise when 02 was in use, so that look out could be kept for 'heavies' on approach over Scofton. 'Twas the same when Finningley was a ANS. Are the take-off and descent profiles of commercial aircraft so different from the old warbirds?

To whoever mentioned the viability of EGCN, affirmative, Peel Holdings have asked for rate relief because the airport is making a loss. It does not add up, does it? But then, that company opened and closed Sheffield City Airport.
