Still good access to the Wattenden aw ditor, in fact I nipped in there a couple of weeks ago after getting caught in a heavy shower as I walked up the peri track.
Was up there again yesterday, took the opportunity to walk down the shorter runway (and the old road!). The fence starts hard by the 615 hangar and is now progressing down the western edge of the airfield. I regained the public side of the fence via a latch gate. Agree with Pobjoy, it does represent a potential and unnecessary hazard; I would have thought replacing the "temporary" crowd barriers around the runway ends would have been sufficient.
