Chev Runway is now the site of entrance road to development. The 'Tower' and Helicopter museum are at the original 'civvy' airport base right by the road to what was RAF Locking. The original wartime shadow factory site is intact and houses a variety of units. (if you close your eyes you can hear the Beaufighters running up).
Without a proper grass management scheme gliding became difficult and even the civvy club (the last users) found it a problem with the newer glass ships.
On my last flying visit in the 80's (mag problem) it was a 'swaying' sea of green.
Back on thread if the Membury 'thing' is true then it just confirms the complete
'loosing of the plot' by those in charge and why there should be a mega 'change' of those who are guiding the system. (misguiding).
No doubt they are working hard on the script for the press release to cover A....
(Air Cadet Gliding 'SAVED' by heroic engineering efforts from 'The Team'). Honours and medal list to follow.
