Fact of the Day: Over the years #RAFLuton has built Water Runways around the UK so that in the event of our lake being bombed during conflict our seaplanes will still be able to operate.pic.twitter.com/TL6lokW4o0

I presume you have lake surface repair teams staged at various locations around the lake. How long does it take them to repair the damaged lake surface and fill the holes ?
Hi Chris, Obviously the exact number of Lake Outpost Specialist Engineer Repairers (LOSERs) we have around the lake is highly classified, We called to put your question to them but they have finished work for the weekend already, sorry.

Do they store the repair material as ICE so they can float it into position? Or do they pump it to the repair site ?

No, the silly buggers call us in the Transport yard, and expect us to wash out our
@irnbru tankers, fill them with lake water, and "rush" to wherever they are with two hours notice. Not easy when your trying to get to the runway over Loch Ness from the Luton Dams.
