If they think there is a strong case for the airport to be reopend they should have the courage of their convictions and club together and make Peel an offer they can't refuse.
Not read the links I've posted then? I still havent found the original link to the story of the local millionaire businessman who had attempted to talk to Peel re. a takeover and was unsiccessful in even getting a response.
It may be just me, but I find that some people on here are all too happy to dismiss something they have a clear lack of knowledge of, without even bothering to do their own research beyond a quick glance at wikipedia.
