Not the Shuttle perhaps but I remember that on 29 July 1981 Greenham Common became the standby landing site for the Gliding Nationals held at Lasham that year. The reason was the Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. There was a Purple Airway over the Waterloo-Basingstoke-Romsey railway line as they went off by train on their honeymoon (presumably, this was to deter airborne photographers). The Purple Airway prevented southbound gliders completing at Lasham. Instead they completed at Greenham and were aero towed back to Lasham once the Purple Airway was dropped.
