Airport without a suitably shaped tuit

[bunn]

I have to admit this story made me laugh: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cornwall/7752446.stm

I could be wrong, maybe this would happen at airports elsewhere in the UK, but this does seem a bit, well,  Cornish.   I suspect elsewhere they'd have tried to rush it, ballsed it up and made a chaos that had to be smoothed over with spin : here we just say 'hey, what's a couple of weeks...'

I can hear my dad ranting about the mañana culture of the Westcountry now...

I thought that at first, but according to the more detailed reports in the local paper, they'd already extended the deadline several times: I think the last handover was supposed to be Aug, but I can't imagine that the original plan was to handover in the middle of the summer rush so that may also have been an extended deadline...

I rather get the impression that the RAF feel they have finally thrown up their hands and walked away.
