I’m sorry but I don’t understand your viewpoint – that’s why I asked!!

Off the top of my head, the plans are:

  • An active airfield (poss with the Red’s using the airspace above for practice – subject to CAA rules of course).
  • Two hotels to support visitors to the site, the nearby historic city of Lincoln, and the nearby Lincolnshire Show Ground.
  • A number of R+D units connected to the aerospace sector.
  • A number of small business start-up units.
  • The four hangers to be used for, museum displays, aircraft operating and maintenance as well as restoration.
  • University level education facilities.
  • Etc etc…

That is where the £300m is going to be spent. The plans are all cleared and key stakeholders have already shown an interest in being associated with those plans.

For me I would like to see an Armed Forces Veterans Breakfast Club facility, some accommodation provided for RAF Veterans – similar to the Chelsea Pensioners facility in London. As well as Vulcan ‘558 establish its self-there and the HHA Hunters come back from Leeming.  

There we go an established strategy (which you didn’t seem to know about) and a few extra ideas from me. I don’t have any connection with the local authority or SHL. But I consider that I have the right to have a view, as well as being positive about the way forward.

Things can move ahead, hopefully at pace, once WLDC and SHL get the keys to the front gate.
