So they'll have to knock down the new hotel when it's built then?

Ricoh named on Cov Tel website

Got to be a few quid in that potential deal!

I had a weird dream that I logged onto my favourite rugby forum one morning and there was a crazy story about a futuristic airport for flying cars being built at my rugby club...

I think I should go back to bed now and lay off the cheese

Exactly my thought, although it says air hub is later this year, hotel may be further off, so perhaps a temporary thing?

Looking at pix on CovTel site looks as though pics from the Hyundai press release event have been superimposed on pic of carpark c - why would you need temporary grandstand seating at a drone airport?

One of the articles mentions tie in with university and spectator demonstrations. I guess once novelty wears off temporary stands can be removed and returned to Saracens.

Noel Philips, a YouTube content creator I follow who specialises in aviation posted this on Instagram earlier. Video will probably be posted in October/November time.
