More details

Save the history & heritage of Nottingham city airport, which opened in 1929 by sir Albert Hall father of the famous world war pilot ace also called Albert & was used by the military in the Second World War. They are still 18 pillboxes that have survived & protected under the Planning Act 1990. A lot of history will be lost and also hundreds of people who work on the airport will lose their lively hoods & families will suffer. Wild deer and other wildlife will also lose their natural habitat.
