Presumably the council can't be saying that flying aircraft fuelled by mogas is unsafe, because if they are, they would have to ban all movements of such aircraft from Oban, Mull, Coll and Colonsay, in fact logically they would want to ban all such aircraft from overflying the Republic of Argyll & Bute. Just banning refuelling them at one airfield doesn't stop them flying there, and therefore does zero to address the perceived risk.

It must surely be about the health and safety aspects of storage and ground handling of fuel by untrained people? Then again, that would mean banning petrol lawn mowers...

Sharon, I know you've said you don't have the heart for a fight and I totally sympathise, but I'm sure it would be worth getting the CAA and the BMAA involved. Also, does Highland Council ban mogas refuelling at Dornoch, Plockton and Broadford? What does HIAL do?
