Devon County Council decided last week to sell at least three quarters of its shares in Exeter airport because it could not raise the funds needed to invest in a planned new terminalbuilding.
But according to Andrew Wolstenholme, director of capital projects for the airport's operator BAA, and formerly director of construction for Terminal 5, the building being officially opened only represents a fraction of the total work completed.
The next day, May 28, 1991, I stepped off an El Al plane at Ben Gurion Airport, and before reaching the passport check, I walked up the stairs of the old terminalbuilding to the Ministry of Absorption's offices and officially made aliyah.
