ah, if it is 25/07 due for resurfacing then that explains why nothing landing larger than a 737 can land via 25 and exit onto Bravo, must be getting worn down
as pilots were determined to get out using Bravo (when loads were light) if they could stop instead of traveling the whole way down 25 to come back up to stand 12
... if i remember correctly EI engineers were not too happy about it and requested for them not to try and make bravo, must have been wearing brakes down
as for the ILS on 07, i think its only the woodgate hangar left down that way (could be wrong?) unless its woodgate in way of an ILS system?... theres been a lot of money spent in the last few years on the apron... most of which is unknown by the general public
they changed all the stands and introduced a road system, about... 3 years ago? with annual repainting (the anti-freeze solution they use on the roads must eat paint away), the stand lighting and numeral system this year
recently the BMI and EZY desks have been upgraded with flat screen tv's, looks very modern (and expensive!)
