Angry Sywell Closed Down

No not by the NIMBYS but by the management!

Sywell was closed by the oprators the other day because the noise of aircraft was disturbing the presentations being made in a hangar they let out for corporate events. They even apparently turned away two QXC's in bound because the £10 they pay in landing fees was not worth up setting the company who had hired the Hangar as a conference centre (A new venture and clearly not sound proof!). I think that goes to show the priority of the management at Sywell! What the hell are they going to do with a hard runway if they don't like aircraft noise.
