Question.

Why don't these places return to the original owners? I'm guessing, but these former airfields were taken up under emergency powers brought about by WW2, were they not? Why cant they then go back to the original owners of the land? I know a lot of time has passed but....and why didn't more of them go back straight to proper use (farming) after the war?
