PM request for any PPruner who has relevant contacts, RAF, local council or otherwise re purchase of Scampton. Will be an honour to provide state-of-the-art heritage centre etc etc. Don’t need comments about lousy road/rail links, plan will never work etc (you don’t know the plan!). Just after contact from someone whom might be useful in helping to keep flying and Heritage at Scampton.
Not listed on e-PIMS yet but would like to be involved early so relevant people know that there is a credible option where the MOD get their vital funds and the locals keep the airfield’s legacy alive.
.......and before you ask, we are not relying on Pprune to ensure success, but it is another media that has sometimes proved useful ;-)
Back to the drifted thread - 2000-hours of flying in NI and only ever witnessed an Army helicopter (screaming sperm) running from a contact 12/8/92 and a downed Lynx due to flying constant angle approach in SA. 🤐
