Hammer32 . not so, BHX has received massive publicity in relation to Davies !
OK it may not have been positive but because it was up on a pedestal that whilst possibly misplaced it still managed to get a mention almost EVERY time a 3rw at LHR was discussed.
If Manchester had done the same amount of lobbying given its ;
infrastructure for circa 40m already in place,
employment opportunities re Airport City,
location to more major cities,
tremendous connectivity in terms rail/car/air
and of course it already has massive demand with a large number of long haul flights in place (China being an exception).
....it would have been much harder to dismiss.
BHX galvanised support from Midlands media, business and local MPs and fought like a rabid dog
...MAN never even turned up !
