Anyone know where Stay is at the moment? |
Well travelled that pooch 🤣🤣🤣

Yep. I took him to Syowa some years ago.

I wouldn’t be too concerned.
A map of the new Western Sydney airport was on the wall of the flying school where I was leaning to fly in my early twenties. I retired last year! |
Australopithecus:
And so what? Even if all the major powers wanted in, its far less than the size of a suburban mall in an entire continent.. |
Somewhere I have a picture of Stay and I fishing off the wharf at Casey.... with the AA in the background.... Summer 07/08.

Australia criticised for Antarctica airport plan Australia is the whipping dog of the whole world...whatever as a country it dose is criticised...and like a kick dog the population seems to want the Governments to make subservient compliance. Country self esteem zilch..until we are winning gold in the Olympic Pool. |
The problem with this is that it is very obviously forward planning for further development. If, in 30-50 years we do start seeing the Ice retreating (this isn't just something that will happen, it has already happened) then we are looking at a resource rich environment for pillaging. Trump already accidentally revealed the US ambition to mine in Iceland, it's no surprise that other governments have the same ambitions. Personally, I find the idea totally abhorrent.
The real impact of humans on the planet isn't a 2-3 degree warming. The problem is that there is not an inch of the surface that isn't being touched by our industry. Plastic in the ocean trenches, plastic on Everest, particulates on the poles, in every stream, in every animal, and most recently discovered- micro plastic in unborn human foetuses. Forget CO2- it's unchecked expansion that is the real culprit. This should be resisted with every millimetre of moral fibre by anyone who values dying in a world remotely similar to the one they were born into. |

Always amazes me how all these Greeny type organizations only seem to protest Western Free Democracies. |

The world is on a slippery slope to destruction anyway so who cares what the Capitalists and war hungry Governments intent to do out in the ice fields in 50 years time. Most posters here on PPrune will be dead and long gone and our future generations will have been charred to a crisp in a nuclear holocaust.
With that thought ‘happy 2021’!!! |

Mick - there are actually 37 buildings at the Station, and they are registered on the Register of the National Estate...... back in 1999 or 2000 i think.

Nothing to do with the runway. scroll to 50s for Davis before and after the revamp. |
We had a taste on what our world will be like if hard-core environmentalist get their way during the last few months and most of us shouldn't appreciate it much(income and occupation wise). The way forward is not to impose restrictions on the life style of the majority of the people but facilitate the adoption of sound environmental principles. In my city there are plenty of avenues where authorities are completely unable or unwilling to install and maintain a "green wave" so cars came to a halt at every traffic light only to start again after a few seconds - and the only way to beat that system is to drive at a dangerously high speed. So fuel consumptions and emissions going up because a lazy state employee don't do its job properly. Instead the state is looking for ways to ban the cars.
I think it is easy to combine expansion with environmental protection it just requires more effort from lazy bureaucrats and governments. |
It'll need not only ATC and rescue and fire fighting services, |
I can almost hear it now........... "A B ****tybags, Clearance not available due 'its my coffeeeee break"................

New Antarctic Division Director was previously CEO Bankstown Airport. Always wanted to have a longer runway and jet ops......... SB
