I've heard that the administrators have kept a number of staff on (ATCOs', Engineers, AFS and Ops) but they are only to be paid until the end of August.
Alledgedly thaye have been approached by 3 potential buyers, 2 of whom are credible, but they are not 1)BAA 2)TBI or 3)Peel Holdings.
One wonders if a bunch of Mc Venture Capitalists with interests in the Broads and a certain Dutch city with strong EEC connections may be involved.
Last but not least, it is alleged that their are certain issues regarding public liability insurance, and that the UK Insurance industry requires a bond to cover past and future payments, ther is allegedly no money for this, which is why, allegedly, the airfield remains closed, (allegedly).
