Bosi72 Posted Monday at 10:38 AM Share Posted Monday at 10:38 AM The quality of roads built by councils tells a lot.. I am more concerned that Adelaide is the nearest alternate and A330 isn't the biggest aeroplane flying... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learmonth is the designated alternate for Perth. Perth is a designated remote airfield requiring certain operational considerations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrack Posted Tuesday at 11:38 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:38 AM Have the Irish gang, cheap asphalt paving merchants, been around again?? A bloke I know with a truck yard, got taken to the cleaners by them, when they "repaved" his yard. Of course, it was cheap cash job, so he got what he deserved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarmac_scam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really works out well, look at the state of the roads, new road laid and the first potholes appear within a week. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted Tuesday at 11:59 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:59 PM Our road became ' crazy paving 'only a few months after a new surfaces was relaid . The gang came back & poured liquid tar into those cracks, and years later it is holding . But the adjacent road joints are full of potholes for me & others to trip on . spacesailor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
