Nothing like giving advance notice.

A flying club has been told it can no longer train pilots or offer recreational flights from an RAF base.

Henlow Flying Club was told by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) that it could not fly from the airfield at RAF Henlow from Thursday.

The club said it would have "no option but to close" unless the issue was resolved.

A spokesperson said the government "remains committed to the phased drawdown and disposal" of the base.

The club, which was informed of the move three weeks ago, will be able to remain on the site but not to fly aircraft from it.

The decision came as the airfield's manager stepped down. The role will not be replaced and the MoD said "all civilian flying" must cease.
