Drove past yesterday on the A34, and thought I caught sight of a small a/c on the ground. No possibility of slowing down for a proper look on that particular death highway.

Brought back memories of London U.L.A.S back in the 70's. Still operational?

Abingdon airfield is still active with Grob Vigilants of 612 VGS(& possibly a couple of civvie light aircraft???).
Military helicopters also use the airfield during the week and if I may be excused a shameless plug,the airfield is also home to a very successful Air & Country Show every May-Day Bank Holiday
