It has struck me that the IAA may be chancing their arm on this one - let's see if the IAA want to shut down snn for a few hours over night. One can only imagine the clamour if that was to pass but then again that would not fit in with the new cosy arrangements put in place for snn.
This seems to me to be another stinker - has it not been the case that the IAA does very well, thank you very much, with fees from all the overflying traffic between the UK, Europe and North America every day.
I wonder are there ATC staffing issues going on as well - I know that in the RAF the controllers have in the past needed to have a higher IQ than pilots!
It is a curious one all right.
