C-Change or Toa, Please tell me this, Willy is a fighter base I know but I believe a training base, right or not? Why does it have to be at Newcastle or has is just always been so why change it?
Why couldn't the entire Raaf base be relocated to Edinburgh as there is plenty of land around it to accomodate the extra infrastructure along with the Orions ( believe me Edinburgh aint busy).
That then allows Willy to become a civil airport.
I know we still need more controllers but that problem we have whatever we do but we won't need to spend billions either as both airports are existing and only need upgrading.
The Raaf are free to do their thing undisturbed.
Newcastle has a proper airport.
Now blow me out the water.........
PS no need to apologise before Toa it is all good healthy debate
