We should be supporting a permanent NQY that is never likely to break even, never mind make a profit, during our lifetimes, why?
When NQY started out it was a clutter of buildings etc. the other side of a military airfield perimeter, the only (civil airport) upkeep was the maintainence of these buildings, a couple of fuel bowsers etc.
The airfield and associated services was paid for by the tax payers thru MoD funding, the airfield of RAF St Mawgan was closed to save tax payers monies.
Cornwall Council re-open this ex RAF Airfield and fund it, support it, with tax payers monies.
Am I missing something here?
