What land have they sold off at Blackpool Airport?

Simply put I would have thought BLK owners would want to aquire land for their so called expansion plans rather than get rid of it.

Talking of expansion plans, I keep asking the same old question but does anyone have anything in the way of news/rumours for BLK plans. I like to look on the +ve side but I can't help but think the talk of 'big expansion' is a load of hot air.

First they want to extend the rwy, then they dont, now they say 'it is an option'(that came from a ATCO). I thought it was FR who wanted the extention? BLK appear to be very accomodating - NOT!

All that said, I certainly dont agree with letting the council retake ownership of BLK. Their forward thinking was about as bad as its staff.If they had their way they would have scrapped the airport and built housing and offices etc.
