My money would be on Elvington Air Museum, by road. I wouldn't like to guess how much it would cost to get her airworthy, find someone to sign off on it and find someone to fly it!

There was a post on the Elvington FB page that said they weren't interested.

I think out of those in the public eye who are involved in this, Oliver Coppard is coming across the most conscientious and applying the right amount of discretion required. Would certainly trust what he is saying more than some of the mouthpiece MP’s who have parachuted themselves in armed with cameras and multiple daily updates on various media platforms.
Perhaps Peel have extended in a hearts and minds campaign as David Johnson suggests above. But it does offer a glimmer of hope that things may be progressing. https://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk...future-3816619 |
Thanks for highlighting that SWBKCB, I'm not on FB.

I would not rely on much in our local paper, but to be honest that sums up where I suspect we are.
Lots of theory and ideas, but no politician ready to put their money where their mouth is. |
“Lots of theory and ideas, but no politician ready to put their money where their mouth is”
Shouldn’t that read “our money where their mouth is”? Which makes a pleasant change. |

"We can therefore confirm that despite the lack of any tangible proposals from public or private sector partners, we have agreed an extension to the consultation to 16 September to allow more time for key stakeholders to conclude their discussions. As is appropriate, our employees were notified of this decision in advance of this public statement. No further statements will be made until the findings of the Strategic Review are announced.” |

Brave? It's taxpayers money your talking about. So what's the business case?

With jet fuel around 75% more expensive than a year ago, every sector in the aviation world will come under financial pressure over the next 12 months.

Are TUI flights to/from DSA definitely safe to book, provided travel finishes no later than Saturday 29 October ? Or are Peel/TUI thinking about cutting flights and generally winding some things down beforehand ?
I'm tempted to make one last trip out of DSA while I can... and don't really want to get an email from TUI saying that my flight has been moved to EMA or MAN |

If a flight doesn’t happen you get a refund. Simples. |
The potential closing of Doncaster Airport is possibly the best thing that has happened to it. It's never had more publicity and if they can save it, that can only be a good thing.
Funding has been raised from public donations for a banner flight around South Yorkshire on the 11th of September. Times are as follows, subject to ATC 12:00 Doncaster Airport 12:15 Doncaster 12:30 Rotherham 12:40 Sheffield 12:55 Retford https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....6666b9f56.jpeg Give it a wave! |

As i posted previously.. long term customer, MAGMA (Chapman Freeborn) has ceased operations from DSA due to uncertainty.
Cargo manager Walter Jones was also escorted off the premises yesterday. Not a good idea when your leaving DSA to start asking DSA customers to use the airfield your leaving for instead of DSA. Suspect may have been part of Peels agenda. SB. |

Effective from when? Immediately?

MP Nick Fletcher has posted that there is interest in the airport however it is all commercially sensitive. Whatever this means who knows.
But you have to wonder with the post regarding Magma, and the rumours that TUI have formally told Peel they will be leaving in October, what will there be to save if someone is interested in purchasing or investing. |
