I have not heard of the Shimmering Airman at RAF Newton, but the former Battle of Britain fighter station at Hawkinge Aerodrome in Kent is reputed to be haunted by the ghost of an Airman. He has been reported as dressed in full WW2 flying kit and glowing faintly. Phantom Spitfires have also been heard overflying the airfield, which is now the location of the Kent Battle of Britain museum.
Over the years, I have visited a number of former fighter and bomber stations and although I have never seen anything strange there often seems to be an almost uncanny silence and sometimes a feeling that you are being watched. This may be simply due to the fact that they are often deserted. However, as a scientist I like to keep an open mind.
