I don't think property developers really give a stuff about closing an airfield. To them, its a large level field, mostly well drained and ideal for 10,000 houses.......just think of the potential revenue! A field with some aeroplanes just doesn't compare

Just look at West Malling, Burnaston, Ipswich......the list goes on! To this list you might also add Rochester and North Weald in maybe 15 years time.

A sad state of affairs, and one which our Government doesn't really give a stuff about either. As politicians seem to graduate mostly from local Councils, is this any wonder?
