You have more chance of opening a commercial airport in Old Market Street than at Filton.tonyperks wrote:They will NEVER open an airport at Filton Now, especially as most of it has gone for housing development. Any ways the airfield already has a station, well the platforms are still there, last used for the billy graham event in the 80's was it?
There has been far too much development at Bradley Stoke, let alone the earlier expansion of Filton and Patchway in the post war years, for the idea to even get off the ground (pardon the pun
)When RAF Lyneham closes the the option of developing Hullavington as a commercial airport is at least possible (GWR South Wales line to the north of the site, M4 to the south, and my house not 6 miles away
) but I won't be holding my breath!
