Airbus don't like their taxiways signs getting bent hence the ban.
What an immature comment.
Hawarden airfield exists to support Airbus Industries manufacturing plant. The whole pan-european operation is dependant on the regular Beluga movements (as are 6000 jobs in north wales).
Tailwheel aircraft are allowed to use Hawarden but pilots are required to have 100 hours tailwheel experience.
GA could easily be excluded from using Hawarden - as a regular visitor I am grateful for the privilege.
