I can't see any runway extension happening at St.Marys, it's an area of natural, outstanding beauty and I don't think i'd be allowed by the dutchy - what would be the real point anyway, the current aircraft can already operate out on full loads and the local council wouldn't allow another fixed wing operator in!

The idea behind the resurfacing of the cross runway, all asphalt instead of half grass was to allow the use of it for Twin Otters in dodgy weather conditions, currently with it half grassed it's a bit tight in anything under than perfect weather.
