A short day - the Inquiry has now been adjourned until tomorrow. Bob Gomes completed his evidence for the RSPB. Giving evidence, in my view, is tougher than any media interview I have ever done! You can feel the weight of the questions and how much hung on every answer. However, Bob 'stepped up for nature', took it in his stride and kept calm throughout. Tomorrow the Inquiry moves on to the Airport witness outlining their evidence for the propsed operations of an expanded airport.
