RAF Bentwaters

Most of the old base housing is now being sold privately and the domestic side of the site is being redeveloped. The gym is open as a sports centre and the theatre has been open for some time (although its future is a little uncertain). A large part of the airside has been sold back to the farming family that originally owned the land and the technical part of the base is industrial estate. The runway is slowly disappearing with the diggers only having nibbled at the ends so far.

Sad that the weekenders and coffin dodgers should destroy its chances of becoming an airfield but at least the pilot won't need to announce "Ladies and Gentlemen we are now landing at Anglia International Airpark, please set your watches back 25 years."
