JimNinch, I dont think HUY is a prime piece of development land based on the failure of the current business park from getting off the ground. There is a large piece of development land close to the Humber and the A180 which has yet to get off the ground. But then Eastern are an airline, with their HQ at HUY, so unless they intended to fold themselves then I dont see why they would close down their own operating base.
Pedantics aside, I cant make a comment on what Richard lake and Bryan Huxford intend to do with the site in the long term, but I would suggest building on the runway will be a non-starter. I feel that they have seen an opportunity due to the possibility of a significant increase in helicopter passengers and demand for business flights when/if the offshore renewable energy sector takes off in the Humber region.
