The market is on a sat, its quite large but its well away from the runway and buildings, its on an area well away from any of the airport operations, and could acutually be fenced off.
In regards to oho ownes it , well essex county council owns it but is keen to do something with it, (except build houses).
I know its about 12 miles from Stansted but biggin hill is probably that from Gatwick, and you have a number of airfields close to Heathrow (northolt, blackbush, farnbrough, ect ect).
I think that North weald would be great if someone took it on is you can be in the center of London in about 20-30 mins from there, doen the M11/ or use the M25 or A13.
The runway is nearly 2000 meters paved, and has some masive hangers in place.
Would make a great Executive airport, and a base for private jets and choppers. Just need a good FBO to take it on, and add some equipment. I understand its un licenced but i am sure there is a way to fix this.
just seams like a good inversment.
