The Elvington air museum next door has just lost a battle to see more construction go round the base, I just hope this is not the beginning of the end of Elvington Airfield it is prime building land. and owned by a company at the other end of the country

Presumably you mean that the museum has recently opposed plans to build near to the museum but the planning has been approved despite the museum’s opposition…? I haven’t heard of any plans to build on the actual airfield itself although I gather that there were once plans to develop/expand the airfields facilities for GA use.
