  If DHB cannot deal with the logistics of suspend port activities for ½ an hour it only proves one of 2 things. 1) The current infrastructure to facilitate the port is inadequate as this is surely a common occurrence due to weather conditions. 2) They have no interest in working with the local community. I totally agree with condemnation of the board with respect to the treatment of a committed workforce. This just another descriptor of the contempt they hold for the locality. And yes, it is the management, their PR and general approach that form the problems.
  
  I don't think the port should have to fund such a display but at least support it. As I say it is easy to quantify port operations but not quite so easy when measuring social capital or issues arising from town planning. As for questioning the appropriateness of a sea port supporting an aeronautical display, I don't see this as a problem. The defining signifier in all of these events is the channel and our proximity to the continent, Dover. They exploit the very same concept as Bleriot, so I see them as perfectly appropriate. Their actions (not by our election) also impact on the local community and directly influence (and restrict) the actions of our elected representatives.
