To use that far end of the field will need the permission of the wife of the owner of a big white jet...... and she often flies on sundays (or will want to if she's told she can't ).
Hmm yeah I know what you mean...

however if we just use the DHL stands for parking then that still gives a conservative minimum of 650m X 60m parking area and still have space for a GV to taxi from the western hangar to A10

Can then use taxiway B as a temporary heli runway for those requiring Public transport performance (could have 350m permanently available and 650 when the big white jet is gone) With approach and departure from the south (to the west of diseworth village) you can probably have 09R/27L in operation with little effect on jet ops on the main which is 230m from the heli runway and has a displaced threshold.

Any DHL aircraft in for the weekend (and there's usually one or two) can operate from the 120s stands at the eastern end of their building.

Biz jets can go on the Eastern Apron.

Now I bet some consultant ends up getting paid vast sums of money to do a 2 year project that ends up looking something like this
