Will logic play a role here?
Except in the LBA / Church Fenton case it would be the other way round.
Put in some random places such as Sheffield Bradford and Huddersfield and compare the times and distances to LBA MAN and Tadcaster. Then think about the huge cost to do a little good at LBA against the comparatively low cost of beginning to transform church fenton that would gain huge benefit and potential. The place is ideal. People from West Yorkshire might actually be able to fly to DXB because they never will from this region otherwise.
