[B]Where and why[/B]

To have kept/keep

Tangmere - Spent my formative years lying in the long grass along side the threshhold watching the Hunters coming & going, then (later) flying out of there with the ATC.

Akrotiri - A Wonderful place

Kingsfield Dhekelia - Soloed gliding in 69 and its near AKR.

Laarbruch - 7 cold war years there in toto . Worked hard - played harder. Wonderful people We had a purpose for being. Loved it!

Bicester - Its still clinging on to aviation but if it ceases to be, it will be a crime!

Places to close?

Valley Lovely part of the world, but never high in the management stakes (IMHO)

Airfield Camp Belize - Run by the pongos - NOT GOOD
