Well can only talk for Stansted and a few years ago when I used to be on the snow team. Equipment was up to the task (Although some did let us down but seeing as it sits there all year not being used then used constantly I don't think it done badly) and the people were well briefed.

I do remember getting the runway cleared early one morning then moving onto the taxiways with an MD-11 following us. Tractors are used for the stands and some of the cul-de-sacs, the big stuff is used for runways and taxiways.

Some good times had on the team, trust me, they are working hard to clear everything and it is long and tedious.

Guys, keep up the good work and let the plough bashers moans wash off you.

If anyone would like more info on this PM me!

OB
