we hope to be able to refurbish the original terminal building and restore it to its former 1930s glory. Our hope is to turn it into a new visitor centre with an outdoor viewing area overlooking the airfield.
Is this really practical ? i) Opening South Side to general public ii) A viewing area.. over looking precisely what other than South Side apron, iii) Extra security issues, iv)Access issues (public transport), v) parking issues. This list is endless and with the additional necessary capex then where's the revenue to derive from other than the obligatory cafe for the 'Reggies et al' , that is other than additional parking charges
