I've just come back from a nice walk around the new runway extension at
Ronaldsway. There is a very pleasant footpath right round it - luckily at
the top of the coastal reconstruction rather than bottom so you can see the
new runway. If it hadn't been dusk it would have been ideal for photographs.
The airfield is so different now it's hard to recognise some of it. I
noticed that the original Manx Flyers hangar has now gone and with the
demolition of Hangar 1 some time ago it means the original WW2 buildings are
rapidly disappearing. Sadly the control tower is now about half demolished
and I guess it won't be long before all trace of it is removed.
South of the main apron the grass has been removed to a significant depth
but footings for the new executive terminal, hangar and taxiways are under
way. I'd guess actual construction may start about January.
