Good rumour to start:- provided that the land is returned to the Corbett family and not given over to the pongos. North Shropshire is one of the UKs best kept secrets, and it would be nice if it stayed that way.
On a more serious point:- Why would anyone even consider leaving a dedicated Rotary Wing base that is inclusive of the goodwill of many local landowners who provide training fields and clearings and that has little appeal to the FJ/Multi Eng communities for a 'mixed wing' operating base that would be intolerant of No RT flying operations and frankly has a busy enough job to do supporting Navy assets already?
Forgot:- Shawbury has a new gym.... that's it then - closure it is. But be sure to resurface the runway first, that's the law.
