The airfield near Wing and Cubblington was to be a 4 runway monster over a huge area. You are right, that middle-class England kicked off big time and it was 'turned off' - in a smaller way the same thing happened at Little Rissington with a succession of failed MOD attempts to reuse the base. I only hope they move al lthe problem families out of all the sink estates in the South East to the new housing development at Rissington to give these NIMBYs a real taste of their medicine!

By the way the old airfield in Oakley is very adjacent to the M40, as is Upper Heyford. How about old RAF Finmere (that should get Courtney going!) and also Bedford.
