Unless he is getting some sweetheart deal from the WDA
Bingo! The WDA had their heart (and loads of cash) set on the new Defence school of technical training being built at St Athan. They had promised the good people of Llantwit Major loads of jobs on the back of it. IMHO, now that the school looks likely to be based on the RAF's outfit at Cosford, they need to be seen to be doing something for the local area and Bruce clearly persuaded them that he was the man.
Will there be a hangar party to open the place properly?
