Nottingham (Tollerton - not EMA) New Owners
Been reported in the press that Nottingham (Tollerton) airfield has been sold.
The new owner is a local aviation enthusiast and successful entrepreneur with proven management skills - this is EXCELLENT news for all those in general aviation - I think we will see some changes which will be for the better for this conveniently situated airfield which will give it a new lease of life!

Fireflybob has been unnecessarily discreet with his information
Derek is well known to me - I recall him flying the Tiger Moth at Tollerton in the early 1960s when my father was a flying instructor there - as also is Brian Wells. Lets wish them good luck in their endeavours!

The BBC have finally caught up with the news
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/n...re/6211859.stm
However, i'm guessing that they may have got the wording slightly wrong here:-
The airport has a 1,000m runway that is used mainly for flight training, but there were also plans for more short-haul flights, he said.
Possibly, a few of the local residents that have supported the airfield may take this to mean that scheduled (airline) flights may be a possibilty from the site which may turn them against the Airfield
