I’ve been interested in the Airspeed/Reynard’s building for years, and I know many other people also would be pleased to see it preserved in some way and its significance recognised.
There are many pages on the building and its history on this site: on this link

That deal was struck and we’re waiting for Yorkshire Air Museum to bring forward a viable planning application.
