Can someone confirm the dates as they don't appear on the website.

I was born in Hucknall close to the airfield and remember getting sent home from school because the noise from the test stand could not be taught over . I also remember lying on my bed with a pillow over my head trying to cut the noise out. The end result of this was a 40 year career in aviation!!!!!!!

As children we would walk all the way to the far side of the airfield where the club was located. Took us about an hour. In those days most of the flying was done in Austers G-AIPH and AIJT.

The thought that all this is going under houses breaks my heart. The destruction of the English countryside for housing driven by excessive immigration is an appalling consequence
of failed government policies. Worth remembering that the population of this country was predicted to top out at about 50 million now we are heading towards 70m. I despair.
