This.
Especially, as the proposal was/is to build the facility on the north side of the A505 at the western end in the field used for airshow day car park, with a traffic light operated taxi-way across the A505 onto the airfield through the other field used for airshow car parking to the west of the Land Warfare Hall.......not to mention other airfield ops upgrades required.
Yeah, that sounds like a good plan

Exactly.
Wyton would obviously work from the workforce point of view, and many other issues if the proposed house building there has been canned, but the issues with the hangars and runway come into play.
