Roadster280, I absolutely agree with you that it is a good thing that the Army moves into vacated RAF Stations. They did so in at least five of the stations where I was; Thorney Island, South Cerney, Colerne, Hullavington and Lyneham. They at least maintain the place, adapting it to their requirements no doubt.
Of those five the least deserving of preservation was Lyneham IMHO. The other four had decent architecture, two with Baldwin triple decker messes. Lyneham didn't, and was simply a mess. If they had levelled it, it would be no great loss, though the runways and hard standings are of course...
