Anyone know if radar upgrade has been completed?

Radar upgrade was completed years ago, but sign off and acceptance took years and was never publicly announced.

Do you mean the more recent ILS upgrade? In which case it’s scheduled to be completed in the week before Easter

Sorry, yes meant ILS , traveling again this week & wondering if delays are possible due to low visibility Tuesday/Wednesday

Only the weather on the day will tell. And, of course Mannanan is full as she is only doing one rotation a day. Car spaces are like gold dust. And if there’s a bit of wind and a 3m+ wave height she won’t go either, perfect storm.

It just gives the dates and times of works on 08/26, the non availability of ILS on runway 26

B2303010615 C)2303312045 means

Starts 01 March 2023 at 06.15 and finished at 31 March 2023 at 20.45.

So we are all praying that this does get finished on Friday - the same day that the Ben is meant to be back in service and Liverpool SPCo services kick off properly.

I think they will still have to get it tested and certified by the calibrator flight, so maybe optimistic.

If only we had a shiney bespoke new boat.... well one that's in the hemisphere and works anyway.

All gone quiet on that front again.

It’s due in late July as getting new driveshaft/gear box fitted at IOMSPCO insistence
