Never under estimate the ability of a County Council - particularly Cornwall County Council - to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Presumably if the airfield does indees shut down for three weeks or so, the likes of Ryanair will be predictably unpleasant, and who can blame them?

Listening to a County Councillor today on local radio praise the work of staff I wondered what planet he hailed from. Cornwall County Council has just appointed a new £200K a year Chief Executive, no doubt he'll sort all this out in a day or two! Why is it that I can't get away from a long held idea that a County Council isn't well set up to run anything that has to supposedly make a proftit and is especially poorly equipped to run an airport.

With the rundown of many routes for the winter period, Newquay is going to have its work cut out to accheive its targets over the next two or three years.
