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.

Did seem strange that over time there was never any mention by wasps of any development despite press report. Maybe weren’t too happy with idea interfering with other plans.
