Has Cowden also gone?

Which of Pembrey, Pendine, Castlemartin and Manorbier are still open?

But I guess there's less need for range work, given the vastly superior simulators and smart weapons now available and with 'dumb bombs' becoming relics of the past.

A sad day to see Wainfleet close after more than 100 years as a military weapons range though.

Wearing a GA pilot hat, given that the RN has so few boa...ships these days, why do they still need most of the English Channel for the odd bit of firing?

Presumably the Pongos are still hosting those jolly spiffing 'fah-parr' demonstrations at Lulworth Cove?
