I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Thinking about the Cyprus road runways, good redundancy but who could make best use of them?

Problem with unattended landing surfaces is they are available for illicit use. I noted once during an exercise airfield attack in Crete that a perfectly sound, but deactivated airfield had oil drums across it to deter smugglers etc.

How would the Cypriots deny their use to smugglers etc?
