B.astards!

Whoever sold the airport on originally, didn't they realise what Peel group stand for? Or did they just want their quick slice of the £ notes and did one?

Those poor folk all about to lose their jobs. What a great friendly airport this is.....what a shame.

Yes RAF Finningley

One of the longest runways in the UK because it was a Vulcan bomber base

A target on the film " Threads"

When it went civil there was no real chance of objections due to noise stopping the conversion

Need to get English Heritage on the case. I'm sure they could throw a few spanners in the Peel Groups plans for a number of years.
