Scottie,
Sorry for the delay in replying but the facts as I understand them are that the Board are considering several proposals vis-a-vie the new proposed VCR.
1) Was an all singing and dancing construction of an iconic variety that looked really good on paper.
However I feel that that is as far as that one got.
2) Slightly less ambitious one proposed, not as tall and less space aloft.
3) A new shed-on-a-pole (Emm haven't seen a post from him for a while?!).
4) Just a new shed!
All are being actively considered but my bet is that instead of past beliefs of build while there is a downturn to be ready for the Upturn, the bid for another far flung "Assett" will take precedence over all matters!
As far as I'm aware the Stand to be dedicated for A.380 ops is Stand 32.
Is this airfeld really ready for A.380 ops ? - don't rate it myself - it's bound to fall into a hole somewhere on the taxiway system or failing that hold up every other movement whilst it taxies in / starts-up - pushes back / taxies out.
Have we any steps for it? - Send out to B&Q for Three section ally-ladder, but make sure all who use it have been trained in "How to use a ladder", - you know it makes sense?
