Not too sure who Robin Tudor is, but a turn back to the airfield from the height they must have been at to end up in Brookhouse Estate would have been suicidal - loooks to me like they did an extremely good job in finding a space to put it in!
Would that be the same Robin Tudor who's
PR Director of Peel Holdings, who now own Barton by any chance?
Not convinced that they 'found' the space....looks more like the space found them!
