Hopefully 06/24 will live on in FS for some time. <g> It's a pity it had to close as secondary runways are always useful but the report suggests it has hardly been used recently. The plan of the runway extension is interesting as I would have thought it would have been longer. It's a huge amount of work for such a short addition - especially moving the Coventry road.. bones -----Original Message----- From: jhb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jhb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Phil Reynolds Sent: 08 January 2008 22:35 To: JHB Subject: [jhb] EGBB news Hi all, Two snippets of news regarding EGBB in case anyone is interested. 1) Runway 06/24 has been officially closed, details here: http://www.bhx.co.uk/page.aspx?type=bEyZftSD20U=&id=VmrgiAt2X44=&article=rds D6yHXUNk= 2) The planning application for the runway extension has been submitted, including (apart from a longer runway!) a new tower, a road tunnel and larger fuel farm, details here: http://www.bhx.co.uk/page.aspx?type=bEyZftSD20U=&id=VmrgiAt2X44=&article=Ajw akwIPA3w= Cheers Phil
