Not by the large majority of schemes currently going through planning in East Yorks, none of which have large gaps and all of which are on fertile land previously used for cereal crops. These sytems may exist in theory but they aren't what are being proposed in most places in practice. None of...

You won't find any cows (they're heavy and break things) or any more than a slack handul of sheep on any solar farm. If there are sheep at all it's at about 10% of the number that could have used the land before. They're not remotely 'compatible with using the land for pasture', that's nonsense...

That's not how budgets or purchasing work

A catering trolly/ buffet isn't a normal cafe...

Given the current financial circumstances of the government I have more chance of becoming the next Pope than that being agreed to, so I suspect you’re right.

It’s never been viable, current events have just made it even less so.

Nice pics, it's for LSL though, isn't it?

At most UK airports any ground vehicle that needs regular access to the runways/ taxiways is transponder fitted, just so tower and/or ATC know where they are, you can often see them on FR24.

There was a very strong smell (of what is as yet unclear), that had resulted in crew members at the rear of the plane feeling very unwell. Various theories around, was it some kind of electrical smoke etc, however whathever it was the Captain didn't want to risk flying after the second attempt...

The time period involved in this instance isn't that long. ATC were having to deal with another flight still on the ground requesting a ramp urgently due to a smell in the cabin as well, which was why the fire truck had been requested.

Normally about 34 days racing a year as it's both flat and jumps. Still not exactly a huge market given the average attendance though, it's not known for attracting widespread oversea interest unlike the large meetings at Ascot, Cheltenham, Epsom, York, Aintree etc.

Ah yes, the boss of Doncaster racecourse explaining how the airport would be great for them. I wonder what proportion of the average 4500 attendees a day would choose to attend by air if they could.... The racecourse can and does already handle rotary airframes on some racedays so not sure why...

Re Green Book rules, yes they do. Not surprised if he’s wary about signing it off under the circumstances. Also worthy of note from the article Coppard said that the airport would be unaffordable if passenger numbers were lower than 1.5 million by 2037. Doesn’t take a genius to work out that...

If any are higher then it leads to an possibly even larger problem getting off, as people don't expect to have to step UP to a plaform from a train.

On something like an 800 it may well depend on exactly the bag has wrapped around in terms of sensors etc. Sounds like there's been an alert in the cab which has led the driver to stop.

And in probably unsurprising news, Fly Doncaster have revised passenger projections by 2037 down to less than half of what they'd originally said. Their original projections were 2.5m (clearly a fantasy plucked out of thin air number) down to 1.1 mn. The council's own figures for break even...

Has Ron Hull bought it, I know they were interested?

A fisheries protection vessel, a marine research vessel and two much smaller ferries. All awarded via direct award, rather than competitive tender. What could possibly go wrong? Of course, if you were being far more cynical than anyone has a right to be, you might link this announcement with...

The significant number of people you'd consider vulnerable (and therefore more likely to end up like this gentleman did) have no form of household insurance.
