And you think that DSA doesn't accept anything smaller than a 737?
There are PA28s and Cessna 150s at DSA, so a re-opened SZD would compete with DSA on the GA front.
BTW, it's no conspiracy theory from me. I think there's zero chance of SZD re-opening, and people should give up on the idea now before somebody loses a lot of money on it. I'm suggesting that there's no way Peel will sell SZD because it, rightly, wants to protect their investment at DSA and a re-opened SZD would compete with them on GA and business aviation. If Peel don't want to sell then there's nothing anybody can do about it.
But, I have signed the petition because there's a lack of GA-accessible airfields in the UK. One can dream.
