I agree. It's a superb location that could attract GA big-time.
As I understand it, it's MOD owned (used to be HMS Daedalus) and the MOD want to dispose of most of the land. I was told via a reasonably reliable source that this is now imminent.
Look
here for Deadalus history.
If the story about the Carill Aviation and the PPL club moving there is true, I'll go back to my source and find out more.
