there's nothing stopping the runway going down is there ? if the stobart group are intent on making the airport work surely a runway is of most importance regardless of the warehouse . you need a surface to land planes on . Gordon browns decision to appeal has no direct effect on the development of the airport , it just effects the development of the warehouse . they are all sorts of things that could be set in place and improved airport side of the field in question . is it a case that the airport will be run down and delicence or a case that the stobart group has spread them selves a little thinly and have insufficient funds for the project ? or both ? as it sounds very suspicious to me .
