I was going to post the same comments as you (we must both take the Echo) and agree entirely with you reply to HZ123's remarks.
There have been a number of adverse comments in the paper recently about both the airshow and airport, so an upbeat report from the Airports's MD is intersting, to say the least.
The B52 club is situated on the eastern boundary, alongside the flying clubs and is an american diner type establishment with 50's style decor. For my sins I have been a member from day 1 (being very vaguely connected to one of the founders) but must admit to only having been inside once. It does look to me as if will be right where the new terminal will be built.
If I recall, when the airport's expansion plans were first announced, there was going to be a visitors centre included, but this looks as it it would be where the new hotel is to be built, so presumably this has now been dropped.
