Oban back to normal!!
It seems as if the fun and games at Oban is finally sorted out. From my source (A young chap many already know) the "interlopers" have been sent away and Paul Keegan has been reappointed.
So everyone get back up there and show what a good decision this has been.
Jammy Dodger's for everyone!!

I have just spoken to Paul and it would appear to be true!
I am now planning a trip across tomorrow, Sunday, to see him and get my Jammy Dodgers. It would appear that the runways are open but restricted but none the less he is open for business fuel etc. Phone before you go though! 01631 710384 or 07770 620988

Paul was telling me a week or so ago that his revenues are massively down, doubtless due to a combination of runway closures and the other seemingly idiotic shenanigans. I'm sure he'd appreciate some sort of co-ordinated activity to boost things along a little : so if one's being organised, count me in please ....

Great news, But does anyone know what the council's proposals are regarding the improvements to the other island airstrips? It was on the basis of the widescale improvements to all of the airstrips that all of this carry on started in the first place!

I was looking at the councils website and the minutes of the meetings! What I have found is that the work on the islands is underway but there isnt a progress report that makes any sense! Barge loads of hardcore has been delivered but it would appear that the road cant stand the weight of the lorry taking it to the site! I will see if I can find out anymore

If you go to http://www.colonsay.org.uk/index.html and click on the "Newsletter" link there is an aerial photo of their new strip. There are also some more snippets in past newsletters.

Delighted to hear this.
I was only in Oban once, and that was a brief visit, but the welcome I received was enough to ensure that I wrote my letter of support when this all started.
I'm glad to hear Paul in back in command......lets hope it stays that way.
Anyone know what actually happened?
