Why has the water area by taxiway Juliet been extended into a small lake?Don't the people who run the airport realise that this is where the fog comes from?
It's the River Mole, which is culverted under the runway, so depending on water levels it can be a small lake or just a bit damp! It doesn't help for fog but generally if the conditions are right for fog we'll get it anyway!

BTW Tunisair schedules cancelled for the winter at least as are all BMI ski flights. Air Asia X on a reduced schedule to build in maintenance window until more aircraft are delivered.
