Wycombe - replacement runways
Let's get back to the nitty-gritty here - has anyone seen detailed explanations of the costs and CAA compliance/viability of the proposed two new runway options? It's all pie-in-the-sky, nobody has done any homework on this, those runways will not be built.
Where in all the plans and proposals is this detailed, where are the numbers? It's not a case of getting a bunch of pikeys in one weekend to throw 1000m of tarmac down - just look at the aggro and timescales it took Sywell to sort their new runway out - drainage and obstacle removal, RESAs and safety strips, lighting and lord knows what else.......it's a BIG job.
Whatever is built (if built) will have a shorter licensed strip - and, in light of the complete absence of any car parking for the 'sports village and stadium', it will indeed be routinely unusable as the aerodrome zone is given over to car parking - hard and grass.
Wake up Wycombe Aerodrome - I can't hear any loud noise from you aviators?! A mere squeak if that.
