There were plans mooted recently to turn it back into an active airfield, but I think

Eh ? Did you make that up ? Nothing heard locally for years -it was decommissioned and sold for a reason.

All the 'Not Thurleigh' signs are long gone thanks to Standsted.

On another point, the cutting build in anticipation of extending the runway/taxiway is still in evidence: there is too much concrete and drainage arrangements to make it economic to demolish it apparently. And finally, extending it to Little Staughton ? Again are you sure: Twinwoods maybe ?
