Any update on Crash gate 4 digging?

[robert harris]

11:19 They have filled in the trench and repaired the surface but there is still a small fenced off section, I parked there earlier with care only for a short time. They are still working on site further up and down the road.

P.S. Qatar C130 and rudderless USMC C130J 165739 were outside and what looked like the RDAF C130 was between the hangars but has annoyingly been put back in the hangar-thought he was leaving.
