Yes. Trouble is that the money men are getting their hands on increasingly bigger slices of a huge, flat, flood free piece of land with direct access to the A127 at one end, and direct access to London via a rail link at the other end. If Esken can't make the land work as an airport, the lenders will turn it into 20,000 houses very quickly. And before anyone jumps in and tells me that the council own the land, yes they do, I acknowledge that. And 20,000 Council tax bills pays more than the lease rental that Esken pay. We're witnessing the demise of an airport sadly.
