I have been led to believe that Odiham was one of those bases built on land given to the military during the 2nd WW on the understanding that if we were to give it up it was to be returned to the (estate of the) original owner in its original condition ie without a runway, hangers, POL spillages etc etc and one of the reasons (when the bean counters found out!) it survived the "chop" at the last attempt....
Let's hope so!
