@LTNman.
What actually are you pertaining to? I have never been to Modlin and live far from both UK and Poland, but still find your post slightly offensive. Indeed, Modlin Airport did get € 17m grant contributed from EU funds through the Regional Operating Programme (
source), just a small slice of it originating from Britain.
My opinion? Pretty reasonable amount of money very well spent. The bigger sums of EU tax payers' money paid for constructing some idle airports in Spain (just to give an example), could be mentioned as a far less successful investment.
