I suspect this is precisely what Grant Thornton the Council auditors have 'red flagged' for the second time with quite severe criticism of the financial governance, the very high risk (in their opinion) and scathing criticism of the lack of aviation experience on the board together with no...

Confusing as they are still paying the rent. The current lease is being re-negotiated but the current agreement is not suspended? The critical issue seemed to be that Cardiff was a 'going concern'. DSA is not quite the same. Nearby airports will no doubt decide whether it is worthwhile. Maybe...

Oh I've already read somewhere - can't remember in which media - that there will be a drop off charge. Commercially, they would be daft not to ........but wait .... this is the 'peoples' airport :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I usually ignore the diatribe Mr C puts out after enjoying the entertainment value it brings with it, but todays address/call it what you will is the pinnacle of arrogance. Virtually all the questions can be turned back to the Mayor and her team and indeed Chadwick himself. Blaming Reform is a...

That's interesting. Attempting to spread the anticipated financial loss? Does she want SYMCA to take a financial interest? On the face of it it would seem daft to relinquish 'control' but retain the financial liability? I have not read any reports but a friend usually in the know mentioned that...

A 'spanner' in the works for votes?? :ROFLMAO:

I watched the later stage of the B727 flight and it looked initially if it was trying to make it all the way VFR. The altitude and airspeed was all over the place and at around 3,400 ft it would seem it ran into low cloud (?) and turned over Gamston and climbed to near enough 5,000 with a...

That seems to be exactly the strategy. The meeting postponed until 11th May is apparently in order that a report can be formulated (by whom?) detailing the financial loss to the Council if the loan is rescinded. As has been pointed out - continuing shelling out funds in the current situation is...

Be interesting to see if that appears on the campaign page

The website is in error - the Gainshare funding has not been received by Flydoncaster according to the controlling party on the Council. Innocently misworded or purposeful intent to influence - who knows??? Mr C I notice has posted a letter to Reform on his site telling them that it's their...

A real concerted and clearly co-ordinated PR effort now by the pro airport lobby with all members of the small 'gang' contributing. I noticed a ridiculous video of Mr Chadwick on DFP this morning slagging off an opposing political party and the comments kick back was something to behold. I've...

Do I interpret this correctly- how can a £57m loan be drawn down against Gain Share funding that although 'conditionally' approved has not been released? What happens if the lease is not re-negotiated to OC.s liking and thus the funds are not released?? Seems a really tangled web!!!!

I think ardent supporters have forgotten in their outrage in respect of a potential change of mind by the majority of members of CDC that not only these Councillors are unsure, but also Mr Coppard who still has not yet released the Gain Share funds and apparently will not until the Lease is more...

Todays TAFs are calling for very strong winds which are likely going to cause issues not only at LBA but at MAN and LPL also

I suppose he has to keep the pot boiling with irrelevant stuff in order to retain interest as there is little of real substance to talk about just at the moment. However the re-negotiated lease should be appearing soon as it was 'nearly complete' quite some time ago!! Right??????
