All may not be as bad as it seems. Some months ago, an ex-Locking A/A mate was visiting the Henlow museum and he recognised some ex Locking items. He spoke to a staff member who mentioned the planned closure. He, and another ex-App. did a bit of digging and found out that the Helicopter Museum at Weston airfield were planning to expand into the old control tower with a new RAF Locking exhibit. In addition the developers of Locking Parklands were keen to get hold of some Locking memorabilia to display in the old R.C. church which is now a community centre. I do know that introductions were made with a view to getting some Locking relevant items transferred to both locations. I'll do some digging when I get home and see what happened.
