RAF Oakington is currently almsot intact with the exception of it's runways which have been broken up for hardcore. However, it's earmarked to be bulldozed for the construction of a 10,000 home new town on the site.

The local historic society is running a petition to save some of the buildings to create a small business park - one of which will house a museum of the airfield. The petition ends on the 14th of Jan 2011 and is at Help save the RAF Oakington buildings, bunkers and structures I urge anyone with any interest in saving a piece of the country's aviation heritage to spend two minutes to click on the link and sign.

It's a worthwhile cause and the historic society are also urging the local council to name some of the new town's roads after aircrew who died while flying from Oakington.
