Hope 2 Fly

Have you actually put these proposals forward to RMT? Because if not I don't think you're in with a chance at this stage.
I also don't think that anyone will get anywhere unless they have extremely firm financial backing, because, as I've said before, I don't believe the Airport will approve anything which is not rock solid in that area.
From what you've previously posted I don't get the impression that you've got the financial backing required.
I agree with you about the aviation pioneers who created the Aero Club and the Airport...but times have changed and the romance of flying we saw years ago has been replaced by cold hard cash objectives, and I can't see the Aero Club getting anywhere these days unless it's run as a business.
If whoever buys it gets taken over, the only way to keep it alive is to make it profitable by utilising it and making it a viable going concern.
Money talks I'm afraid.
