I heard it was worth more being turned back into 'common land'. A pleasant area to work your dog, fly a kite, or have a pic-nic.
The government have decided rural green spaces are required after all.
I believe the runway is to be dug up and re-used for the fifth lane of the M25, which has a start date at the same time as Lyneham closes.
A/C are to be taken out of service, as there is no longer a requirement for them due to PFI and we are not at/will not undertake any other conflicts..ahem...wars.
