Sad to say but that actually looks like an improvement on the MQ's at Brize. Certainly better than the one we moved into when I was there.

Mould, asbestos, wall panels not fixed to the frames (didn’t know about that one? One reason for the upgrades they did in 2001/2 was to fix the exterior panels to the steel frame so they couldn’t be removed by just lifting them) and the list could go on.

The only practical upgrade to the main housing stock in Cartoon town involves a D6 and lots of skips. Mind you, that could be said of the whole town but that's a whole different issue.

From a personal point of view, now they have knocked down a load of them the resultant open space is an improvement on the place and IMHO should remain as is with a bit of tidying up and landscaping, it would make a nice park that is located fairly central to the town.

New housing stock for the base should be included in the build plan currently running on the town’s outskirts.
