It appears that preparations are being made to bring the airfield back to life. I hear that QinetiQ are involved and currently making enquiries to ANSPs for provision of ATC.
As QinetiQ are involved is it related to operation of UAVs, maybe trying to wrestle away business from West Wales Airport (Aberporth), just down the road, who appear to be the UK leaders in this field?
Please let it not be Welsh Assembly Government behind this, ready to throw away another few million of Welsh taxpayers money.
A few weeks ago I was able to see how UAVs operate at West Wales Airport, a very impressive operation run safely and efficiently by a the airport operator, I would speculate at a fraction of the cost of something that the QinetiQ empire would cobble together.
Llanbedr may be able handle the larger UAVs (Reaper etc), which West Wales cannot, due to runway length, but its going to take one hell of a lot of UAV movements to even pay for ATC, unless of course if QinetiQ are sending out the bills!
