Yes I did know about it - although I never actually walked the site for a variety of reasons,I was working weekday nights at the time and just driving between sussex and Sarum + some long x country flights left me with little spare energy for 'walkies' LOL
Yes great shame about Sarum - it was a lovely site to fly from although C Abbas would possibly have been a better thermal site if our GC had been allowed to stay/operate from there
