Nice buildings, but not enough self-loading-freight. With the demise of the ILS/radar approach service at Coventry, it was one the useful strips in the are if you got caught out in bad weather and didn't fancy the daft prices at bham. I think it is done for now, it was hard to get the few airlines that used it there in the first place, will be impossible to get them back even if a CPO could be organised. If the mayor had wanted to do something, he should have done it weeks ago, but its all too late now.

I suspect Peel will want to remove the buildings fairly quickly if they attract business rates.

There is a "save doncaster airport" FB group with some delusional admins that's worth a look if you are bored.
