    Be a real shame to see Kemble Airfield close ( if it does ) as it's been a firm favourite for our group runs over the last three years.
    But not much you can do about it.
    Plus point is there's plenty of other airfields dotted about with decent facilities...
    We are having a return to Shobden Airfield on the 15th..its a nice venue on the border with Wales..
    If any of the WBs want to come along and try a new place then jump on board..

    Problem is with airfields they are 'brown belt' land so far easier to develop than green belt, they count as being previously developed inside the entire perimeter fence, not just where the buildings and runways are. The reasons why so many of our second world war airfields disappeared under seas of house over the last 20 years or so. That would be a real shame. Did wonder why they hadn't held the airshow there for the last few years, something has obviously been brewing

    There are quite a few vintage aircraft that fly out of there, particularly the Hunters (think the only flying Canberra is based there also?) a few years ago a Spitfire arrived imported from Australia for restoration, would be sad not to have that on our doorstep, there isn't anywhere else like it in our part of the country

    I think you could be on to something there Swanny. Everyone knows that immigrants are to blame for the banking collapse and the recent bad weather. Now they could be responsible for closing our airports.
