Dyson got the lot!
Hangar 81 and the one next to it, plus the gliding hangars, 89 and 90, plus a bit of other land in Hullavington Parish was the only part of the airfield to be sold on the open market. The other two areas were sold to the original owners under the Crichel Down Rules, who then must have done some sort of deal with Dyson.
RAF Hullavington, now known as Buckley Barracks and the home to 9 Regt RLC - and to me anyway - will always be unique as my late husband was posted there in 1966 and I'm still here! Lovely village and community to live in.
There are many listed buildings on the main site, including the Officers Mess, many of them constructed using Cotswold Stone and - rumours again - Dyson is interested in acquiring that as well!
