VOR probably no longer affected by reflections from the sea but I think they had to take metal security fence down to avoid interference. So I guess it will need re-calibrating when they put the fence back again?

Localiser probably better placed but decision height may be affected which might explain the silence from Basil Reed, SHG and DFID i.e. do they now put it back again?!

GBAS will help but may not be working for some time?

NDB/DME and GPS should suffice to get a/c to the island and on a visual approach...hence issue with higher d/h as well as a difficult approach, high terrain and possible cloud base issues (which I believe effect that area)?
