I used to have to run across that runway, in between 4-ships of Hunters taking off or landing, to get to work at the GCA site.
624 VGS still use the runway today.

Whilst I was in the church yard at Heanton Punchardon, I saw a light aircraft take off, or was it a motorised glider? Is the runway open to GA?

NoD,
pretty much since the current occupants moved in 1994. I seem to recall that they even dug a trench across it just to make sure it was properly broken.

AFAIK the runway has stayed available...
