I can back up some of what Daifly's saying. I'm relatively local, I learned to fly (f/w) at Welshpool, and I know both the Pool Aviation people and Bob, the owner. This is a positive move, though I daresay it won't look like it in the short term. There are loads of pilots and ex-Welshpool instructors in the area who agree with me; some of them have been quietly waiting for this to happen for some time. Don't forget Pool's lease was up about two years ago, and the only reason things went to a court case was because they didn't leave. This is hardly a case of them being thrown out. There is a lot to this whole story, and at least two sides; don't jump to rapid conclusions.
