I am groundcrew on the Grobs at Benson. Just about everyone who is involved would like to relocate back to Abingdon. We are constantly bombarded with noise from those infernal Heliocopeters and they get in the way somethin` `orrid. The pilots are always complaining of having to hold off whilst a chopper on a ten mile radar approach does his stuff. By the time he gets in and clear, our man could have landed, reloaded and been lined up ready to go again. The alignment of the runways at Abingdon is better too.
London and Southampton UAS`s could be relocated there as well which should make the whole thing viable. We have to have new accommodation built for us at Benson anyway so why not build it at Abingdon and do us all a favour.
