Does a/g add a lot?
Well, having a fully equipped and manned (personed) control tower at Oban did not prevent a wheels up incident, neither did it prevent an aircraft departing the runway and ending up just short of the fuel storage facility, so the answer is probably no.
And plundering the public purse to pay council workers to drive their van up and down the runway at Glenforsa every morning while getting paid double and triple time on weekends and bank holidays does not add anything either.
It's a real shame that there is no one in Argyll and Bute Council or the Scottish Goverment who have the balls to put an end to this clusterf***k.
