And there's a big part of your problem. You see this in terms of Yorkshire vs Manchester rather than in terms of finance, investment and rate of return.
I don't disagree with your notion about starting with a basic airport and seeing what happens. Why don't we just do that? If it's as irresistible a prospect as you think then the business will roll in. Personally I think the barriers to entry for Church Fenton are considerable, but we will see.
