But if they could re-open something like Wroughton, I'd go again, just as I did last time. Different venues will increase the interest. I'm sure there are new destinations people would want to visit. Do LAA read these forums?
Regretfully I'm informed Wroughton has gone the same way as Lyneham and is covered in 'mirrors'.
I watched the first Wroughton (1991) on radar from Farnborough; the 'Liddington hold' was busy all day. I was a PFA member so volunteered as an Air Traffic Controller for the next Wroughton ('92) and for '93, then did 4 of the re-vitalised Cranfields, all of them great fun I thought.
