Airport Update

Airport Update
The island鈥檚 gone quiet again for a few days as the airport boys have a weekend off. It was a bit like watching a giant egg timer, as the pile of aggregate from the barge grew at the pier, then slowly shrank as the pile at Ballard grew instead. Now it has all been spread out. The runway strip looks huge but the two loads have gone a surprisingly long way. Next week the barge is coming in every day for ten days (weather permitting) so it will be a bit chaotic.
Even the most pro-airport people would have to admit the road has already suffered, with a couple of random holes appearing. The engineer is worried about compression areas (where there is a dip, and as the tractors hit this they force it down a bit more) so some tar has been laid to level out the surface. On the other hand they have improved the passing spaces no end; the village even has its own bit of dual carriageway now (at the Lodge cattle grid) and several houses have improved parking areas so they aren鈥檛 so close to tht they are learning colours so they know which tractor and trailer to use. They have learnt to wave at the rest of us. The Dalmally boys find the waving a bit odd, and the shinty match plans are making slow progress, but bacon roll sales have increased.

Any chance of some pictures Nic? Bit of a civil engineering junky...

Ali from Glasgow


I'll try Ali. Everybody else seems to have trouble to start with, so I chickened out. Miles of membrane arrived today to go between the ground and the aggregate, should be fun holding it down in today's breeze.

How much will it cost to fly to Coll from Glasgow and who's going to be the biggest beneficieries B&Bs? Hotels?

Mike from Edinburgh


You can't fly to Coll from Glasgow, only from Connel (just outside Oban and not so useful) and the main point of the plane is so people don't have to stay so long, so I doubt Coll will get much more trade. The plane is only an eight seater anyway, at least to start with. Cynical?? moi??
