WOWBOY and others,
In case it had slipped by you the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland and the European Union are on their knees, not just the city of Plymouth!
And, whilst not defending, I can assure the audience that JSCL is far from being a teenager and I KNOW that his money is for real.
As for me, I've made no bid for PLH, as per my profile I'm in a tropical paradise of which the city iof Plymouth is not and there is a certain Plymouth City Councillor, he and I worked together at PLH back in the 80's, and he could speak for our not too long ago conversation whereas I had enthusiasm that PLH might survive but I wasn't holding my breath, i.e. there's no sour grapes from me.
I can assure the audience that PLH will be never more than a restricted length runway glorified flying club/business airfield with a sprinkling of 'puddle jumper sized aircraft' scheduled operations.
Low Cost, Ryanaqir, Easyjet, KLM, Frog Air, Lufthansa?
Who's really behaving like teenager(s) suggesting that these are EVER likely to happen?
