Nick Fletcher MP wants an airship factory to be built at the former Doncaster Sheffield Airport.

By Spencer StokesA Doncaster MP is calling for the company behind a plan to build airships in the city to base themselves at the former Doncaster Sheffield Airport.

"The beauty with the airport is we have the links - like the new Yorkshire Way road," said Mr Fletcher. "We are working with partners including South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority to select the best possible site." Oliver Coppard, the county's elected mayor, said: "We have a world-class cluster of companies working at the cutting edge of advanced manufacturing and green technology, so I'm genuinely excited that we can support HAV in their ambitions to build a sustainable aviation cluster here in Doncaster."The city's council is currently exploring options to buy the former airport site with a view to reopening it.
