Surely the technical (concrete) buildings are far too gone to be saved?
This depends on your attitude towards our heritage. Admittedly, they are in a poor state of disrepair, but so are a large number of other buildings across the country, which have been successfully restored. As someone who regularly watches Channel Fours Grand Designs, its quite clear that the most important requirement needed in restoring any dilapidated old building (apart from loads of money) is the will to take the initiative and make things happen, something it appears that is alien to those living and around Driffield. I would also like to add that apart from the hangars, there are only around eight technical buildings that can be easily restored and leased to local businesses. Additional new-build business units would provide additional employment opportunities.
