Halton will close earlier than some on here predicted only a few weeks ago. For those without rose tinted glasses it couldn't survive because of Halton House.
The airfield is used by the RAF but the majority of users are civilians.
Although there are quite a few lodger units, these a generally small. The exception being the DMOC, or whatever it is called this week.

The estate itself will be worth a fortune. Prime real estate. Social housing on an industrial scale��

I am not sure how Cranwell will adapt but it will have to. I mentioned it before but initial training, 2-4 weeks, could be all ranks then diversifying. Studies are being done. It will change.

As I was told only the other day, the RAF is not for the old, it is for the future.
