Brilliant, and sounds like a pretty nice delay, if any delay can be,

Any chance you took some pics?

I agree that the airport will be limited to niche services, as the link to cardiff is likely to be business traveller based, and with Cardiff there isn’t a huge number of direct services, so a link to London would be useful (but Heathrow/Gatwick the most ideal is unlikely), however perhaps a Amsterdam or Paris connection would be feasible to connect on to KL/AF

As an independant observer I reckon this should be good for the local economy, but that under £100 fare sounds ominous to me, would I be right in thinking that this route would come under the PSO proposals for wales, and if so whats the odds that a similar scheme to that up in scotland whereby those who really need the route get 40% payed for them.

The BBC article claims, “an Under 50 Seat Aircraft” – who in the area runs them, only person I know who does round that way is Air Southwest, unless Air Wales were to come back.

I have to agree with the person quoted in the article stating the road link needs updating, but I believe a balance should be struck, you can’t abandon the road – as not every one will be able to afford/want to use the air link so these must be catered for – yet the air route should be provided as well,

Never knew there were so many of you living in the south-east of London area!!! I’m normally over in the commercial.

Nothing has passed over Bexley today unfortunately, most years we see the bulk of the traffic coming in,

I think i’m right in saying a De Havilland Dragon Rapide will be there, and apparently this IS the last Biggin for the forseeable future as the airfiled has lost its license (no firm reference but my Uncle, who is normally hot on these things), whats the odds they do their best to get the license back for next year – usually a huge moneyspinner so they should want it back presto,

It must be a VA thing! :diablo: :rolleyes: :diablo:

The novelty of having your copyright imprinted all over something,

what would you get from the high court in a settlement for theft of that??? 😀 :diablo: :rolleyes:

😀

Unlike Emerald who are still operating according to their site AND still with a link to Pax Ops. 😀 And still showing 6 of my pictures they lifted off Airliners! 😡

All a.net photos have got copyright marks on them – should you not contact them and threaten them in some way ?

Sorry, wozza, perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. I was responding to tomfellows’ post where Heathrow would remain in place.

Even so, from an ATC point of view, the best place for a Heathrow Mk.II would be Brize or Fairford. :diablo:

No problem, It appears I overlooked tomfellows post,

It would be rediculous to segregate airports for different traffic types – even more passengers would be lost to KLM/Schipol and AF/Paris due to better connections.

I agree LHR and LGW should be both closed and a ‘super’ airport built, where? why not the proposed LHR Mk. II in the thames estuary, more than enough space – my only concern would be the impact on the local environment.
