Deposits under Coventry Airport

When I sudied Geology at Coventry Uni and latterly in Preston, we did a study piece on Coventry. The airfield HAS got huge deposits of Sand beneath it so quarrying companies WOULD be interested except that the airfield has a covenant on it which would not allow that excavation.

Also, Mrs Jones in the Village would probably object to the 100 or so lorries that went past her door every day......bet she now wishes she kept her gob shut about the Thomson 737's !!

Latest news, Swiss company doing due diligence and have exclusivity for a couple more weeks the liquidator says. How true that is, is anybody's guess.
