Am I being blonde here...why has the restriction started 2 weeks before the Olympics...would a baddy with bad ideas carry out his attack on the Olympic Park before the event even started ??
Following an extensive consultancy period paid for by the taxpayer it was decided that:-
1) Three weeks would not be long enough to ensure that many GA companies were going to go bust, slightly longer would be needed.
2) A four to five week period would be better so that the property speculators that own many airfields could prove aviation was in decline and businesses were going under. Planning applications for business parks and new houses could then be fast tracked.
3) Having the zone run till the end of the Paralympics would probably mean that most of the property speculators would also have gone bust and that would not be good news for the pin stripes in the City.
