Thank you kind sir. My German geography is bad. Is this the airport Wiggin's (The owners) were to call Black Forest airport?
So what of Wildenrath & Gutersloh?

So, out of 4 ex-RAFG airfields, they have to choose the one that didn't already have an Air Terminal! (courtesy of the MoD)
The one at Gutersloh was a pretty good size, a pity it's now in the middle of an Army Camp (I'm assuming the Terminal is still standing? - years since I was there).
As for Wildenrath it now has trains running around it (Siemens test track) that should really be running around SE England!
Bruggen could have been tricky - you wouldn't know whether you were arriving in Holland or Germany (also now an Army Camp AFAIK).

Another little interesting fact. Neiderrhein is about 40 miles east from Eindhoven which is about 40 miles north of Maastricht , all of which will be served by Ryanair in the near future. Whilst the Dutch like a good deal I didn't know the market was that good !
Buster,
Niederrhein (in North West Germany) is run by a Dutch property company.
The 'Black Forest' airport, operated (not owned) by Wiggins is a former Canadian Air Force base at Lahr, near Karlsruhe in South West Germany.
