Wisley was rejected by the local NIMBY crew even for use by GA and that was back in the 1980's.

Seems the locals would prefer poisoning by waste incinerator rather than a bit of occasional GA noise.................

Mind you if they are powerful enough to stop the development lobby - they will stop the waste plant too I'm sure................

At that stage even the ARNCO had not been put up (I think that was done to stop people racing cars up and down the strip)

I visited a couple of times - even then it was incredible to think that it had been a large production testing facility not long previously.............so quiet and tree lined...........all the buildings and hangars had been demolished by that stage.

Very Sad all round...........
