I think it's a shame that things were not different, and it was RAF Church Fenton sold a long time ago, before all the investment was spent at LBIA/RAF Yeadon.
Church Fenton is located within 3 national rail lines, the A1 is very close too. Links to the whole of the east coast and north of England would be a dream compared to where LBIA is. This is before you factor in the cross runways and the much better weather Fenton would have offered. Church Fenton has just been sold, be interesting to see what happens to it, but obviously new housing would be the safest bet!
