No, that's when they start building the swimming pool
Good news for Valley, but bad news for Linton On Ouse??

Surely the first indicator of closure is when there is an unseemly rush to carry out all the works services that have been outstanding since the year dot. The reason for this was that the PSA or whomsoever had to have its book clear when the place was finally closed!
What? They've just done it?
Or it could be building new hangars. They re-built the 4 x T2 hangars at Bovingdon then closed it the next year.

And Honington: the traditional runway resurfacing, 13 Sqn's brand new multi-million pound RIC and recce-specialist HAS site (while IX Sqn's HAS site remained empty) and RB199 maintenance facility and associated 'hush house', followed by closure as a flying unit 18 months later...
