I was in Bicester ATC Sqn for several years in the mid-late 70s, and spent many happy times on the airfield. However, I think I'm right in saying (and I do stand to be corrected) that Bicester, despite its long history, never launched even one operational sortie. Without some kind of combat history, it's difficult to see it being saved; the public won't identify with it. I wish you luck.
