Hugh Lang was seen clearing his office under supervision!!
But did Hugh (or anybody else based locally) ever have any power?
Don't forget it was Vancouver (professional airport operators) who decided that they didn't want DTVA in their toybox and when they chucked it out it was Peel (professional property developers) who picked it up again.
And was Sheffield City ever going to be a success when it could only take Fk.50/Atr size aircraft? LPL is a far better comparison for DTVA - underused aviation facilities surrounded by plenty of developable land. The question is are Peel prepared to spend the money or are they just going through the motions?
