Oh .. and, the completely unsubstantiated rumour to go with this little tale ... a while ago McAlpine (of construction fame) had a couple of twin squirrels at the airport, paying a minimal parking fee and daily sucking up significant amounts of (highly profitable) fuel ... when the new airport manager took over he wanted to up their parking fees by a significant amount ... what I heard was that McAlpine offered to re-surface the runways in exchange for parking/hangarage ... and were turned down
The twinstars are no longer based at EGBO ... and the runways are deteriorating.
