Dick is right,

Bankstown is like some third rate third world airport in the back of Africa.

They are so pro active!!!!!!!!!

I keep my aircraft in a hangar at around $1000 a month. Which when you consider a charge of $62 per day outside parking courtesy of BAL is double the charge for under cover.

Then just push the aircraft outside for even 5 minutes and the Gestapo arrive.

But the best part is their collection department. The chap in charge rings after 5 days for payment, I guess with so little movements they need to chase every dollar.

When Flew thru Biggin Hill and then Cannes, the difference is like chalk and cheese. Both the English and the French are now so pro General Aviation it is funny.

BAL need to take a good hard look at themselves and start running a business it's call aviation.

BUT HELL THEY ARE PURPOSELY RUNNING IT DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE THEY CAN JUSTIFY SELLING IT OFF TO A DEVELOPER AS A BEAUT HOUSING ESTAE WITH LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ON THE SIDE.
