Tee Hee!!! I probably see you as I sit staring wistfully out of the window, watching the approaches for 23 over the 'Boro with my tear-stained (or was that beer-stained?) licence in my greasy paw, wondering when that elusive RHS job will finally come along.

No, when I said major, I was on about the long-standing proposal for a dedicated cargo hub on the south side of the airfield. I think the numbers were for something in the order of 5m tonnes a year (is that a lot for a regional? - I really don't know), and having 747 freighters using the facilities too.

I'm sure you fly in a tasty amount of cargo (about 15t?), but it will take more than a couple of flights a night to get the kind of tonnage figures proposed.
