Dash 7 lover,

RSOL is misinformed, or ignorant, making a statement that the St. Mawgan runway is long enough to take anything flying today.

Whilst the DC8 is just one example, that remains flying today, in the cargo sector, and will continue flying for many years to come there will be other aircraft types also that, at MTOW, St. Mawgan's runway will not be long enough to accommodate!

If NQY want to stick with modern aircraft, at less than MTOW, then stick with the passenger sector.
