That is sad news for the oldest aero club in Britain. Perhaps AVROTech should invite them back to Woodford. The Club House was still there the last time I looked. Fat chance of that, though. If that idiotic idea of listing aerodromes as "brown field" has been let in, then Barton Moss would, indeed, be a valuable building Plot.
That reminds me, my old LAC tie is starting to look rather tatty (in fact, I'm wearing it right now).
