CATIII:
Why not develope Alconbury
At a guess:
(1) what for? is there any need for
in this region? Cambridge are talking about nothing more than bizjets.
(2) it is closed and would have to have squillions spent re-opening it
(3) it has never been a civil aerodrome so would have to have even more squillions spent re-engineering it to ICAO standards
(4) Cambridge residents are used to having aircraft noise. Residents of Huntingdon, Houghton, Hemington and St Ives have had almost 20 years to get used to having no aircraft noise from Alconbury and would undoubtedly have somehting to say about a re-opened Alconbury.
