Somewhat sad

I was the USAF Communications Squadron Commander from 1985 to 1988 at RAF Greenham and considered it the best assignment of a 26yr career. Greenham also is a very fond memory for my father who was a B-47 pilot who was there several times during the 50's and 60's. The picture of the control tower is somewhat sad in its condition especially since the facility came under my squadron and the air traffic controllers worked for me. I am happy to see it is listed as a historical facility and is up for sale with the hope that some group or individual obtains it and restores it to represent the long history and partnership between the US and Great Britain at this wonderful location.
