    If you are really sad, like me, and read down the FB page, you discover that this Glamping site has a helicopter , buses etc.
    Looks like however that there is no planning permission as of yet.

    I don't think you need planning permission to park a vehicle.

    But you probably would need it if you were laying track to park a rail vehicle on?

    That is what the home owners at Hinksey thought when the sidings for the virtual quarry were relaid. They were very miffed to discover that grandfather rights applied and once operational land always operational land.. Depending on history it might not need permission

    yeah, but they aren't going to turn a wheel and no doubt in a few years they'll be unfit for further use and replaced. I can't see this place being much more than a scrapyard in years to come unless it can generate enough cash to continually replace the vehicles.

    Perhaps that's the idea. Didn't some of the "metal fairies," who were such a problem to heritage railways when the scrap price was high, turn out to be based in Ireland?;)

    I don't think there can be much profit in it if so, the Boeing was moved by sea from Shannon in a huge operation, there must be millions being invested.
