Would be terrible to lose either or any airfields, we have lost enough in the past.Dont know Rougham but we visited kemble last month and from conversation with a couple of the locals we were led to believe there was more to the proposed closure than just the noise nuisance (if there is one) Last time we were in was a good few years ago and it was a busy place then it most certainly does not seem that way now, there was little visiting traffic and our guides said that was normal these days for what is a superb facility we were surprised. The view we left with was that those that run the place seem unable or un willing to get into bed with the neighbours and the local authorities but are intent on fighting rather than discussing issues. We were shown a local paper with a fairly entrenched stance shown by the owner which does not bode well. Just hope all gets resolved at both and that one day we may return to kemble or visit Rougham
