I would also be keen to know what is going on as I'm keen to see Dunsfold re-open as an airfield for light aircraft flying on a permanent basis. Its rare nowadaays to see an airfield 're-open', in fact I don't know when such an event happened! (Can anyone answer this?!!). It is all too common to hear about airfields under threat and this would make a welcome change for hobby flyers.

I live near to Dunsfold and residents in local villages were leaflet dropped at the end of last year by Waverley Borough Council, asking our opinions and comments on what we would like to see the site used for in the future. There were four options: 1) Industrial/office use 2) Business Aviation 3) Light aircraft usage 4) Nature reserve. (I went for number 3!!).
These questionnaires had to be submitted by November 2003 but I have never seen an outcome on the results, or any mention from the council of what the next stage is. I'm about to contact the council directly to ask, but if anyone has any other useful information about it would be greatly appreciated before i do.
