another superlame,
You said "How about this Chris, invest in a new hangar complex in Sydney? This was to be part of SACLs revamp of the airport."
I have it on very good authority that a tender has been put out to build a 3 x A380 and 3 x 787 capacity hangar over in the space behind the fire station near 16L. The size of the project is enormous (400m x 200m).
I also learned that those ponds beside the road where you go under Southern Cross Drive towards the runway tunnels (behind the VW dealer and the school) are part of a sewage system and contain untreated turds. There is a natural flowing treatment system that takes crap from the city and eastern suburbs and naturally filters it through a series of ponds into Botany Bay.
Anyway, the client is QF and there is a sense of urgency about the project with expected completion of 2016.
The turd system, I'm going to net for mullet.
