I think it's good that BW are going to keep at least one in full
working order, I would have been much better if they could have kept a
whole flight in use but lets face it, we will never go back to using
them. Atherstone is bad enough now let alone slowing down things even
more and before anyone says anything I know you shouldn't be there if
your in a hurry but there would probably be day long queues if they had
to use side ponds.
