This might have been better suited for the spanner-monkey's forum, but as many who worked there said at the time that DARA was established- and the head shed started all the pie-in-the-sky talk of attracting commercial customers like it was the easiest thing in the world- where is the surplus of demand in the UK or European aerospace industry for another such facility?

All the current companies and organisations in the marketplace seem to be doing rather well as is, without the need to buy a super-duper, nearly-new building. Or will the involvment of "other government bodies" be a euphamism for even more tax payers money being thrown at the problem?
