expansion
Last week I was fortunate enough to have a tour of the Air Traffic Control Tower Curtesy of the local airport supporters group.Can't mention their name of course,but thankyou Andrew.Our escort for the tour was Mike Littleton,community liason manager for the airport.Those of you who have met Mike know what a nice guy he is,and a true ambassador for the airport.I asked him about the expansion plans and he said that they thought that Mr Pickles would not be minded to call in the planning application as his attitude was that it was for local councils to decide these things,as has been proved.Mike has worked in many roles at the Airport,Air traffic control and management and worked with the late great Les Wilson of which he had a few great but unrepeatable anecdotes.He also said that someone from S.B.A.E had written to one of the local papers in Ontario berating the Teachers Pension fund for their support for the expansion.I believe that one or two replied that their only concern was to get a good return on their investment.
