Would this be a government ploy to get a pretty penny out of mil. airfields over a period of time? - Surely operating carriers like Ryanair out of Leuchars would generate f-all profit and it would be yet another white elephant? (Hate to be sceptical about the government in every case, but it is getting hard to see exactly what they do for the average Joe Bloggs)
On the other hand: with civi carriers flying in and out of mil. airfields in the future, any chance of me getting a touch & go at Leuchars in a Warrior? ....(Thought not)
The airstairs are pretty nifty, how did they squeeze them in there?!? Hats off to whoever designed the mechanical bits & bobs behind it all.
