Gravel and Grass
Hi
I last flew into Sanday in September '08 and it was gravel then (also grass runways available). However, if the ex-manager said some of them had been tarred I'm sure that would be right. The AIP, Pooleys etc will not be amended over night. I dont know about Hoy. Thought it was only available for the oil termal operations though? Anyway give them a ring. Whenever I have rung for PPR, when I have eventually been put through to the correct department, (having a nice chat at each wrong department on the way), I have found the people to be exceptionally friendly and welcoming. They give very good information as to the current state of the gravel and grass. The first time I went to Sanday a man turned up on an exceptionally muddy tractor and unlocked the "terminal" so I could use the facilities, and left it unlocked for the rest of the day so that I could use it again on my return. Great place!
Cheers
SF.
