Amazon Prime to test fly deliveries in England?
First India was suggested, now the UK. In particular Cambridge. Far be it from me to speculate (but I will) just down the road are the airship sheds at Cardington home to the Hybrid Air Vehicle team and an enormous indoor space in which to test fly 24/7 all weather. Just this week Google announced the lease of Moffat Field and Hanger 1 to allow them to test indoors. Cardington, should it be in the frame has one big advantage, its already being restored.
