They are pursuing the money......probably under instruction from Lambeth.
You only have to look at the proposal to house Marshall's of Cambridge on the airfield in a new complex built in the sw corner that would have ended all airshows there anyway due to CAA overfly rules, as well as the new on site hotel proposal behind the Superhanger to help with the corporate income.
Yes, they may say they still want to hold their 6 airshow days per year, but I also think they will be just as happy if there was no airshows if there is another way to gain income without the need for them at all.
