Offer accepted according to this
Somehow I really can't see Hollywoodford having 't same appeal as California......
Of course we could see 't Bungling Baron opening a chain of 'Planet Hollywoodford' restaurants specialising in northerrn delicacies smothered in brown sauce...
At BWoS 'bargain' prices, no doubt:

Unfortunately poor old Seth, 't Baron's wrinkled retainer, was fired when 't Baron dished out the recent redundancies....
However, being a canny old sod, he's busily writing his memoirs "Anouska, Winship and the Saudi prince", involving " 't Baron bunging bribes to 't brown lads" - which should see him happy in retirement!
Boogeroff has been banned from 'Planet Hollywoodford' lest his flatulent emissions should disturb the customers as they feast upon tripe-and-udder burgers wi' mushy peas, chips an' brown sauce.....

Every clouds have a silver lining. Once BAE have closed completely in the north of England then we won't have to suffer Beagle's "hilarious" northern monologues. Not knowing where Woodford actually is doesn't seem to matter much either.....

TV crew at the gates today said as part of the package, there is apparently also a big deal with DHL using the airfield in the future.
Anyone shed any light...?

They're apparently going to rename it:
"London Woodford".
The motto: "We can make the earth move for you".

Given the size of the DHL operation just down the road at EMA that doesn't quite make sense, but who knows .... and anything that keeps the airfield operational is fine by me.

I was told there were no further expansion possibilities at EMA......

EMA is one if not the only airport that is open 24hrs a day hence it's attraction........ Is Woodford, as most mail work is at night?

Not exactly sure of the correct terminology but I was lead to believe that the airfield is only licensed as a "factory airfield" therefore any commercial aviation activity would have to be in that bracket.
Can anybody put some meat on that thought ?

Oh I don't know JimmyTAP, the comments are quite funny to laugh "at", as opposed to "with". There's more likelihood of the scenario painted taking place in Blackbird Leys, Cartoontown or Witney (Poxfordshire) than Woodford (Cheshire). Possibly acted out in Polish, Estonian or some such. Hell, even Wart-on and Salmesbury are in Lancashire, not Yorkshire. Once the Hawk's dead and buried, so will Brough be, although that's really Hull rather than Yorkshire proper.
Now that BAES does more business with the DoD than MODUK, can we expect more ill-informed "bolleaux" regarding "Bubba" and "BillyBob"? Of the 100 or so locations BAES have in the US, only a handful are in the South.

If it annoys the premiership footballers in Prestbury and Alderley Edge........ Good
Why would it? Woodford is 3 miles from Prestbury and 5 miles from Alderley Edge. surely these are the guys who will use it most!
I would if I had a superb airfield in my back garden and unlimited wonga......... Enough said,
Manchester Airport will lose a lot of business but they dont want GA or even private jet type ops anyway IMHO.

"loose a lot of business" ... don't think so, there is some corporate business running through Ocean Sky at MAN, GA at MAN doesn't exist.
Opening up Woodford would offer real opportunities to expand corporate and GA in the North West.
