It may well be the end for Sherburn as we know it, but good for Yorkshire GA
Fenton is a great place with all the facilities in place due to the "money no object" spending by MOD.
Two runways, and a wee bit grass if required, and lots of hangar space, what's not to like?
Perhaps if the (non gliding) GA community consolidate there instead of Sherburn, Rufforth Bagby, Breighton, Full Sutton et al, then the general use of Yorkshire airspace would be safer as there would be fewer overheads to steer around.
LBA & Finningley could stick to commercial ops with training schools relocating to Fenton, allowing for training without the delays caused by commercial airline stuff hogging the runway, and of course, GA not getting in the way of the commercial stuff.
