Marshalls of Cambridge rules out move to Duxford
It leaves Wyton and Cranfield as their options now. I know the distance etc but you would have thought originally somewhere like St Athan would have been ideal.

why not Prestwick? They'd get a big subsidy from the Scot nats....................
|
What about Mildenhall? Near Cambridge and possibly available in 2024?
mmmitch. |
Waterbeach was available.In the 50s they used us acouple of times.
|
Forgive my ignorance but why the need for a no fly zone? When I've flown into Cambridge (albeit only twice in the dim and distant) I don't recall there being a no fly zone then.
|
Mildenhall no longer an option, I am told.
|
Wyton sold.
Which airfield is SW of Duxford? ...and had identified a potential site to the south-west of the existing airfield at Duxford |
Why do you all think they need to move Marshall's of Cambridge to another airfield?

Teesside would be perfect I am sure the Mayor would be willing to find cash.

Houses on Wyton’s airfield was dropped about 2 years ago - https://www.huntspost.co.uk/news/raf...enda-1-5264495
Mildenhall to close some time after 2024 (although rumours are it won’t at all): https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/longer-r...hall-1-5832485 |

I think it's in the terms that, at Duxford the Marshalls facilities would be designated "no over-flight" zones for airshows, which would cripple display flying at Duxford.
Yes I think that's probably it, it would be classified as a built up area, the same reasoning is making this years Victory Show at Cosby sadly the last as the villages latest development is encroaching the display area. |
I really don't understand why they ever contemplated Duxford in the first place. I like to think that IWM told them to get on their bike when they were approached them.
Plenty of space down here at Newquay. |

With 4,000 employees to either relocate or each to face a long drive to work there is no obvious option. (Drive? Cambridgeshire suffers a Stagecoach near-monopoly on bus services. They're cr*p once outside the city.) 'a |
Move the lot to the Northern Powerhouse - and get a £1Bn grant to do it..................

Linton-on-Ouse will soon be vacant....
