This is near the Helicopter museum and i believe they are trying to 'list and preserve it'.
WSM used to share a frequency with Farnborough (122.5) and I can remember listening to a VFW 614 going in there probably late '70s.
Looking at WSM on
www.flashearth.com , there's no sign of building/re-development going on (don't know when the satellite photos were taken though).
What a waste of a perfectly useable airfield.
