I, previously, couldn't stop laughing at Simon's expectation of NQY becoming a significant freight airport.

Freight needs to come and go by road, it is well known that laden LGV's hate non motorway roads, constantly changing gears, up and down hills, stuck behind convoys of caravans etc. and the nearest motorway to NQY is some 80 miles away and just around the corner from EXT Airport.
