UK Regional Domestic Airline - Feedback Pls?

Hi,
Would a UK-based regional/domestic only airline servce be possible?
I realise there may be alot of logistical hurdles to overcome, not to mention regulations & red-tape that would perhaps prevent this from becoming a profitable reality, but I do believe the UK would benefit from it, so would it be worth some brave individual having a go!?
The nations roads are crap and will only ever get worse, not to mention more and more costly (If the governent had their way). There are a massive amount of ex-military airstrips throughout the UK all being near popular large and small towns, which are becoming ever-more populated. They are currently redundant or used for recreation - would a no frills, airline using twin props with up to 20 seats be able to operate with minimum fuss from them?
Would love some feedback, on all levels so work out whether it's just a pipe dream.
