The Adj

Sadly there isn't much left off Syerston, in fact even less than CF. The Os Mess is still there but sadly very derelict - last used as an Islamic School (Oh the irony). Most of the buildings on the technical side have been demolished by "parent" units. It is really strange driving onto base and round the standard one-way system when there are no buildings left.

Sadly the current, and previous, staish at Linton seems to have plans to do the same to CF. I understand that the old workshops, fire section and CofE church have all recently been demolished . So the last almost complete WWII Fighter pattern station succumbs to the RAB God and buildings built before WWII have to go so that we don't pay depreciation and cost of capital on them!! Criminal.
