Well Manchester has one. It has a shop, restaurant, Concorde, three spotter’s mounds, cafe, grass picnic areas and table, a regular bus service to it, four other aircraft on display (Vulcan Trident, BAE-146 and the nose of a Monarch DC-10).
It has a third of the traffic of Heathrow and it’s heaving in the summer despite it costing £3 an hour to park.
When the A380 arrived first visit there were tens of thousands of people around the airport – you couldn’t move.
I think BAA are very short sighted. The UK is full of plane mad people – surely they must realise this ?
