There was a plan to turn it into a cargo hub for the likes of Fedex and DHl after the Airfield side handed back to MoD and sold off back in the 95/96. And of cerise then Br we’re gonna finance the development of freight terminal to support this.p but then they pulled out, which did not Eli the situ. Coupled with some locals opposition it went no go.

cheers
A "mini village" of 6,500 new homes no less...
