Salmond, writing in his referendum diary The Dream Shall Never Die, said he met a delegation from the Chinese airline Hainan last July.
He wrote: “For some time we’ve been trying to interest the Chinese in viewing Prestwick Airport as a potential hub. It has long runways, lots of air space, plenty of ground space, a strategic location and is ideal for private jets.”
Golly, seems like a surefire winner. Though if the American with their love of golf don't fly to Ayrshire not sure why he thought the Chinese might be go-er.
