Morning MV Appreciate what you say regards public handouts via RDA's and the fact that under this new administration they may not be with us much longer, surely that is a good thing, as it is uncompetetive isn't it ?, how many times in the past did we hear that the South West has lost out to Wales again due the WDA grant, not only aviation but other business ventures. I know it's harsh, but lets get rid of them all and have real competition, with the real go getting companies pulling off into the lead with the rest having to fall by the wayside, after all to much tax payers cash is being pumped into lame ducks that without would have long since gone under. As you mentioned Brs had £1.5m six years ago, i visit Cwl very regularly, driving around the airport you see little plaques on various locations stating this project was finnanced by WDA or EU funding. The initial idea of these Quango's was good, to assist poorer areas to improve, this they did, however when a level playing field was achieved this should have been suspended, but it was not and a false economy was born being supported by these agencies, where the original well performing areas became the new underachievers with no RDA to assist them into the future. Anyway rant over
