I know a few of the locals and while havin a few sherbets at an establishment near Llanbeder a while ago we had a discussion on the reopening. Most of them miss the place as it had employed a huge chunk of the community and we agreed that the NIMBY's would be better off if it went into civvie hands as this would put an end to the RAF and Army using the field for CAS exercises and the like.
Last time I was there there were Tonkas, F-15E's and Swedish Gripens hammering the place day and night. Grant it this doesn't happen very often but military aircraft still do carry out simulated airfield attacks and fly low level over the place on a daily basis.
So it would be in their intrest for it to reopen. (eh..maybe the hunters etc would throw a fly in their ointment though
)
