North Denes re-opening?

A new windsock has been seen flying.

In case you think it's a bit small, it has comparable declared distances to Netherthorpe and prior to its closure for fixed wing traffic, it had a thriving fixed wing flying training school and operated fixed wing pleasure flights; I've been trying to ascertain when it became a 'helicopter only' operation but it could have been as early as 1980 or as late as 1990.
North Denes (1980) was 582m for runway 10/28 and 381m for 18/36 whereas Netherthorpe is 552m for 06/24 and 382m for 18/36 .
