Whilst some of the wartime dispersal pads were in the field south of Everton Road (where the solar panels are) the runways and hangars (and Gibraltar Farm Barn) are north of Everton Road and hence not covered in Solar Panels.

One good thing about the airfield being a quiet working farm is the numbers of birds or prey and owls that love hunting across the paved areas unhindered by anything. I love the solitude of the place and regularly walked around there over the last 11 years.

Gibraltar Farm Barn should be in public ownership. It is so historically significant.

I would encourage anyone to visit Tempsford Museum (open once a month in the Stuart Memorial Hall) it now has lots of RAF Tempsford items.
