but to have witnessed 4 aircraft perform 4 go arounds each in the space of 30 minutes is a bloody serious issue both on a safety side and a service side
Waldo, I simply ask how is an aircraft going round in circles a safety issue, genuine question! These aircraft were in a holding pattern as far as I understand, not making approaches and then breaking off to go back round again! The point you make on a service issue is a fair one and I don't see a problem with asking that.

BTW, the quiet little Harbour, according to CAA stats, so far this rolling year has 40666 aircraft movements as opposed to that busy 24 hour international airport over the hill showing 36954. Just saying. https://www.caa.co.uk/uploadedFiles/...Statistics.pdf
