The fire cover has gone and the mega machines are for sale at £250,000 each.
The fire dump has been cleared.
All the Jindi's have gone as has the control appuratus for them.
All in all it's looking very sad and desolate.

It's for sale if any one wants it. Reverts back to farmland if a buyer isn't found. Shame to waste those lovely runways. It closed in Nov 2004 although is still shown as active on the current chart, maybe they'll get it right on the new one. Everything has been stripped from the place, from radar units to fire extinguishers & filing cabinets - all gone.

Crikey, thought you could buy a new Boughton 6 wheeler for around that price!
...but wasn't there a Phantom there once upon a time. I flew over about two years ago but couldn't see one, but was told it/they were hangared.
Go on spill the beans - it's history now!

Llanbedr is closed. It is currently on the market. The Welsh Assembly Government is looking to sell it on a 125 year lease with covenants that it must be used for commercial aviation 
and provision must be made for the operation of UAVs
from the site.
Rumour has it they are looking for £12-13million.
Time to spare, go by air.

12 million but its got to remain an airfield for an area where there is very little commercial business possibility - That Welsh assembly are living in a dream land - actually they need the money to build their dream house don't they!
Remind me who owns the airfield anyway, sureley the MoD belongs to us!

MOD transfered ownership to WAG in 2003. They have been trying to shift it quietly ever since, but have had no success. So now it's in the hands of an estate agency.
WAG has always lived in a dream world, so nothing has changed there.

Anyone know what is going on at Llanbedr?
The manager of Kemble, David Young was seen up there this week!
All bids for the site, which now has to remain an airfield, were supposed to be in by the end of last year.
