The burning question of today is - do we want to own an airport?

The old RAF Machrihanish airfield outside Campbeltown has been offered to the community for £1. And they'll clear all the contamination. It's a huge area, boasting the longest runway in Europe, and at the moment it has the Civil Airport in one corner , and a company making towers for wind turbines in another ( it's great fun if you're in Campbeltown when they're driving these huge towers to be loaded on a ship at the harbour. EVERYTHING has to stop!)

But a Community buy-out requires at least 50% of those eligible actually to vote and there doesn't seem huge enthusiasm. We received our ballot papers this week, so we'll see what happens.
