Haha! Only in Scotland eh? It seems Prestwick's main runway is built on top of a burn which flooded and backed up closing the main runway. To be fair, it was an RAF station to start with so "burns" wouldn't be too high on the agenda when you've got a war to fight. (Fact: Elvis Presley stepped on to Prestwick airport in 1960 when returning from Germany to refuel. The only time "The King" was in Britain.)
