Panshanger saved ??
Well perhaps, promising from the local council, Panshanger Airfield has been removed from the local plan in a council U turn.

The talk is of moving the runway 50m North and allowing the landowner to build a more limited amount of houses. Looks like they are going to approve Option 5.1 in the consultants report below, which shows the re-alligned runway and switching the operations side from the South to the North

Link No 1 no longer works.
As one who used to live on Wellington Drive, very close to the airfield, I find the greed of the estate 'developers' sickening. There was already significant housing development in the area when I left and increasingly there were brownfield sites becoming available in Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City itself.
For an organisation who claims to be helping to keep the airfield open not to be able to spell hangar correctly says a lot in itself!

Barry,
FWIW, Curiously the 'hanger' in Panshanger ..... is sort of "mis-spelt".
I suppose yonks ago folk were equally afflicted with poor spelling.
Look at how many letters and even august flying magazines manage to get it wrong. Spell check is a great introducer of such errors and surreptitiously too !

Yep, as I was told many years ago, hangErs are for coats, hangArs are for aircraft.
It's almost as bad as people using the word 'airframe' when they mean aircraft, 'cos as any fule kno, an airframe has no engines.
Right, I'm off to get a life now...
