2-3 Fokkers was never intended to make the place a viable airport, the catchment area has always been to limited and a regional connection was what KLM wanted to achieve as they had done at Norwich and other smaller airports and they were disappointed when the airport closed.
The NWI/AMS route was started by Air Anglia, once British & Commonwealth Shipping bought in that became Air UK, once KLM bought in that became KLM UK, KLM didn't achieve anything from NWI except what was already in place for them to buy out.

Right, I'll get back to sucking eggs
