Colt and Norwich comparisons
Norwich Airport has 1841 metres of runway, and they happily operate 737's out of there. Does anyone there remember how long Colt's is?
Re the news item yesterday. It gave quite specific information on what the plan was - maybe mrmsmith missed a couple of small points buried in the content?

At 7500' / 2286m Colt's main runway is longer than those of Dunsfold and Kemble (1880m and 2010m respectively). Both of the latter airfields take redundant jet liners up to 747 size for exactly this sort of work.

A great initiative - re-establishing an airfield on finals for another airfield.
However, I can see where Andy V is coming from. Good luck.

One clapped out Classic coming in a week ain't going to cause NWI to have kittens.
It isn't exactly the same as 4 Squadrons trying to launch a morning wave, is it now.

Coltishall is to the north east of Norwich. In fact Colt's runway lines up with the old 04/22 cross runway at Norwich, which is now a parking lot.
If (big if I know) Colt were to re-open maybe the light aircraft at Norwich could reposition across there? I get the impression that the grown-ups at Norwich don't really like we PPL's grubbing up the circuit. This might be a good solution all round.....
On second thought's, that does appear to make some sort of sense, so it'll never happen. Must remember to take my cynicism tablet tonight.
Thoughts on the above anyone?
