Another GA location under threat – Hucknall?

I’m not sure to what extent GA activity might be affected at the Rolls-Royce Hucknall airfield due to this planning decision?

I think that engine testing stopped a couple of years ago – we certainly don’t hear them like we used to!

This is one of the reasons why the land is being sold according to this news item http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-19575641

Do they run the engines there? I think I saw a video once of engine testing there. If so, I bet the new residents will love the noise.

I’ve just been advised that despite the planning approval there will be at least one last aviation event at Hucknall this year http://www.merlinflyingclub.co.uk/pageant.html
