Skinflats International
I remember when I first came into the airyplane business in the mid-60s, development of the Skinflats site between Falkirk and Grangemouth was being promoted. Glasgow Corporation were set against it of course as they had just re-developed HMS Sanderling as Glasgow Airport but there was a strong case for it and if I remember correctly Mike Bishop of British Midland was one of the proponents. My ageing grey matter is struggling to put more names in the frame but there were quite a few prominent businessmen of the time involved but unfortunately no money..
I very much doubt that it will now ever happen. With good and soon to be improved surface transport links with the rest of Scotland and NE England (M8/M9/M90 junction on its doorstep, City Bypass close by, and forthcoming tram link with its Cogar rail interchange, Edinburgh is just about as well placed to be "Scotland International" with Glasgow and Prestwick left to fight over the Central Belt to the West and South West of Glasgow.
