i did hear that the mix used for anti-icing the runway,taxiways and stands was not the correct mix,instead of a 75/25 mix it was the other way round and coupled with the cold conditions in that part of the world it obviously turned the whole place into one big ice rink!
thats what i have heard anyway,so i guess the baa are now moving away from their enterprise of airports and shopping malls in the terminal buildings to a more leisurely business of ice theme parks in the winter within an airport setting!thats a new one completely so ever who has thought this one up will probably go along way and end up at the top!
well they certainly have had a good week the baa with the tresspass fiasco in stansted and the ice park winter wonderland of gatwick!
i guess this may just expedite the sale of one if not both!
ll i can say is that it made a very quite thursday in stansted look like the baa vision for stansted,plenty of planes of the widebody type!
