I have read all the comments with interest. We recently visited the heritage museum, never having been to Scampton before. What I found incredible was the security to get in, and yes I know it is an operational airfield. But the reds were away and nothing else moved. It is a tired old place with a massive concrete runway.
I learn that to walk around the perimeter fence is 15 miles. Can that be right? So that is one hell of a piece of real estate. But what could anyone do with it?
Return to farming? How much would it cost to clean it up? There will be all sorts of contanimants on site.
Once you fence off the listed hangers, built a museum and then an industrial estate what on earth do you do with the rest?
Just my 2p's worth.
