I guess it's worth much more as land for building. Airports near to be
reasonably near their customers to have value. It's why Borisport won't be
built.

Marshall's place at Cambridge is still going, despite that.

Cambridge airport *is* near its customers, who I would expect to be
predominantly from the City and its hinterland. They struggle to keep
passenger flights running though [four F50s on weekdays, two at
weekends, plus the one remaining Darwin flight a week, to Verona, on
Saturdays].

Darwin, Etihad Regional, Citijet - the churn goes on.
