Anyone know what will happen to the old VCR when the new tower comes into use? New Executive offices perhaps?

And while we are on old towers, did the old Ops Tower ever get converted into a bar or whatever was planned?

The existing tower will become the emergency back up.


The old ops tower remains unused to this day ...... I believe it was never a practical option as a public area due to size/emergency exits etc.


Options for it to be returned to it's former use, become the Airfield Ops base (instead of the portacabins @ stand 64) have been suggested at various times.

So far every idea has been rejected as it would cost ................
