Fuji, I walk my dog on the strip. The rwy needs a good sweep to clear the debris but the underlying surface is good. The start of the infrastructure work for the relief road has started to the north but the strip is still complete. fences run close to the rwy edges in parts with trespass notices. The lighting fittings and the unusual marker discs that were on them have now long gone although broken casings can still be found. The windsock pole to the north is still there with the ring but the cloth perished years ago. Access across the rail is by two private crossings and it seems that the vehicle one is no longer available. They tried to get enterprise zone status but were turned down. The retention of the airfield was not part of the plan. Makes you wonder if they had, whether the result would have been different considering the success of Lee on Solent.
interestingly, this is not the site of RAF Bognor, a RLG, which was to the South West.
Sime Darby as mentioned above, control the land now and there details are available on the net
