RAF Cottesmore is to close soon and Gene Plews, who sits for Oakham South East, thinks he knows what should be done with it. He told the Leicester Mercury:
"I believe it is ideally suited for a regional airport.However, Lord Bonkers' current-day successor is not keen. Alan Duncan, MP for Rutland and Melton, says:
"It has all the ancillary services needed and can handle aircraft as large as a Boeing 757 and a Galaxy transporter.
"It is close to the A1, would service a local need, and could boost tourism. It has great links to London."
"It is a totally inappropriate site for a regional airport.
"The road links are inadequate."

And Lyneham should be the overspill airport for London. Close to the M4. Remember that Finningley has become Robin Hood.
"Great links to London?"
Lord Bonkers suggests:
The Great North Road.
