post us a link to this concern - it's mainly ex RAF types and spotters

BUT - I'm sure the Daily Mail, Express and Torygraph plus at least one political party would
see it as a symbol of British Decline - something the RAF play on I suspect
I live in Scampton village, it can get a bit noisy at times but they were there before I moved in. I can't speak nationally but I do know that in the Lincoln area, to a man, there is a lot of pride in having RAFAT at Scampton and also a lot of bad feeling about them moving out. The same applies to the 617 Dambuster history attachment.
