It probably was the only likely option as discussed already. Will be interesting to see how they overcome those issues already discussed in this thread, including the fact that its a much smaller venue, so likely will be a very different event.
I'm not sure it will happen though as the chances of many shows actually taking place next summer I think is still very much in doubt.
I live not far from there and recently attended 'Props and Pistons'. There were lots of cars and very few aircraft. The road to the airfield from the east is through a small village and although this was a relatively small event, there was a lot of traffic. Parking was in a farmer's field - not a problem as such because the weather was dry. Quite how Sywell will cope with this both in terms of dealing with spectators and flying visitors, if it does come to pass, remains to be seen.
