That is what I am saying.
Everyone is shooting in their own foot by being outrageously expensive, refusing competition and Tesco defending the islanders.....since when Tesco has been interested in transport and since when a piece of land can help buy such expensive machines.....Everyone seems to be either lying or suicidal!
My theory is BIH could not afford buying new helicopters and was closing the business anyway. Any other option was no way as good as the actual Heliport so why would they want to get rid of it. Land's end is few miles away from Penzance(the train brings a lot of custom), Truro would add expenses, flights being longer....
