Just to clarify Britkits post re Shoreham.
It wasn't Shoreham Airport which was having a tough time, but the holding company which owned Shoreham Airport Ltd - Erinicous Holdings.
Erinicous (sorry if I spelt it wrongly) was run by people who managed to attract considerable interest from the "Guys in suits" from the serious fraud office earlier in 2008 and subsequently the whole company was put into administration.
Fortunately the Liquidator recognised the value of Shoreham as an established G/A airport and managed to reopen it within a couple of days of the holding company going wobbly and subsequently sold it.
Shoreham has an extremely admirable record of training up it's own staff to become ATCOs and it's an interesting airport to work at.
