First of all, there is only one “G” in Baginton. :p

I rather thought the economics (note other regional airport expansions went the same way about 2008) did for TUI, rather than the NIMBYs. Plus the inability to develop much e.g. a terminal due to the mail depots being built on the old factory site (north side)

The STAR would have mandated something higher than 1000ft. Also to my knowledge, all roofing tiles in Stoneleigh remained undamaged from any wake vortex. 😉

Aeros have plenty of investments at other airfields, not just Baginton. Buying up Tollerton would not therefore logically generate a push out due to changing the use of Baginton.

I used to work for them until 2006 and was involved in the early stages of getting some photos digitised. The archive used to be at the end of the office in Quadrant House, Sutton. It used to be a guy called David something (not Learmount).

Try calling the office and see where you get:

Or a good radio jammer?

You guys used to fire up the engines every Wednesday iirc at 11am. Used to make lessons at AFT rather interesting, if disruptive! That was five years ago.

Don’t forget the BBMF had its last deep check on the Lancaster at Coventry. I imagine its a question of human and monetary resource. Great news on your intent. With a regulatory nod, the drawbridge has been lowered. Being just south of Coventry, this would be great to see another classic type flying over my house.
