That smacks of the aircraft
cottage industry that lasted in UK through the '60s and '70s. I remember taking a Bucc into such a location (Bitteswell ?) for servicing as late as the '80s, The place was small, run down, and not a lot going on. You need Warton as the centre, with a couple of outstations. That's all your market can support now.
