Predannack Survives

Whilst the Predannack (surviving) looks good in practice what you get is a facility miles away from centres of population and with poor transport links.
It ticks the conventional gliding box well due to its size and multiple directions availability, but needs accommodation and closer tech back up.
It would make sense if it could also be used as a base for week courses with staff from other areas running it (like the old Halesland operation) if of course the staff actually exist by then.This would at least make better utilisation of the facility and give a better return on any money spent.
