I can’t get too upset. We cannot, after all, save every building that at one time in history did something worthy of a small historical footnote. Airspeed was not a major player in the British aircraft industry. Most of its history did not take place in York. I rather agree that too little emphasis is generally placed on our engineering history, but I don’t see this example as a strong case for what would have been an expensive preservation effort, even without counting in the economic value to the city of redevelopment.
