Kenley
622 Sorry but you are not in the picture here.
Kenley airfield is a London Common that the MOD only hold a lease on (originally under the defence of the realm act).
The City of London can do nothing with the area once the MOD lease ceases to operate (other than revert it to common use)
In fact they already accept the historic importance of the location and have gone to great lengths to keep the location development free.
The location has no value to the MOD, and only amenity value to the City of London (who are not poor anyway).
The location would have made a superb 'working museum' on a famous BoB airfield that had not been significantly changed since1940.
I suspect the MOD's lack of interest was due to the Imperial War Museum taking on Duxford, and that they also had a museum at Hendon.
A very limited decision; but as seen with the other decisions made re ATC gliding 'what do you expect'.615 are as secure as the ATC organisation is.
