Good news for St George's Chapel. I wonder how much of it was due to this petition campaign? http://www.pprune.org/military-aviat...ggin-hill.html

I can't help feeling that Stow Maries is no longer in Govt hands and so why should we be spending public money on those WWI airfields not in Govt and RAF hands? Both Upavon (Trenchard Lines) and RAF Halton pre-date WWI and their airfield infrastructure is slowly falling to bits thanks to DIO. Why not preserve these early WWI heritage sites with Govt money instead? RAF Halton even has its own set of preserved trenches and so can tell the story of land and air warfare from WWI.
