Anyone else read today that BWOS Woodford are having a humungous battle with the NIMBY owner of tall trees at the end of their main runway. The result is they cannot presently be lopped. The consequence is a 1200' shortening of the runway, and the completed MR4 Nimrods will not be able to depart...... allegedly.
Anyone care to bet this bu$$er is being paid by HM Treasury to ensure yet another delay to the contract....
