WWW - My apologies Welshpool not Llanfair.
As far as I was aware I was not generally talking about your overall personal opinions on any of this (ref your comments on Ian Woosnam and his aircraft, although he was looking to move at the time to Berriew in order to be near his aircraft, a fact that may not have produced any further jobs directly but at that time it wasn't doing the airfield any harm either, in fact quite the contrary!).
Wales this Week was hardly a "thin" programme, granted TB fielded the questions reasonably well, but I don't remember saying he didn't have the gift of the gab, the overall content was extremely interesting.
I totally agree that various "claptrap" does get discussed regarding the DBRW, WDA funding etc. etc., however this particular claptrap came directly from Mrs Beynon!!!!!!!!!!!
I did say "at the time MP" which was Alex Carlisle MP QC who was also looking to raise questions in the house regarding Welshpool......that is also "first hand" information.
As for other businesses potential, talk to the previous business development people of DBRW, WDA and the stone walls they came up against.
My post may have got your back up, that was not/nor is my intention, but for your strength of opinion (particularly as your role as a moderator), I merely wished to point out that not only are there are two sides to every story, but that you were not there when a number of the initial problems occured, and as has been said in earlier postings we are all entitled to our opinion....... and, some of us (not excluding yourself) are also in possession (first hand) of certain facts, and documented proof.
I would not need to be an ex-employee to know and be able to substantiate my comments, I have no ill feelings, my Father is ex RAF and I have been an aviation enthusiast almost since I could walk, an airfield in Welshpool was a dream come true.
I am still (as I have said previously) extremely pleased at last to see that Justice has been done, and Welshpool returned to the owner, I for one wish Mid Wales Airfield evey success.
