WHY is it such a problem to have a hangar built at Elvington?
Why is there all this fear about aircraft noise, and what makes people think there will be Boeing 747s flying above their houses?
If it goes ahead there will probably be at most a Boeing 737 or similar aircraft once a month, plus other smaller planes which won't cause too much disturbance.
It's not as if they're on the flightpath to Heathrow.
And as for York having an airport, why not? There's no point letting one of the longest runways in Europe going to waste. It would help tourism in the city and deter businesses from relocating.
