Kemble does not deserve to be faced with such a threat - It is one of the finest GA airfields in the UK and should be celebrated as a centre of excellence.

I am now signed up too. But as this needs to be completed before 17th September, we all need to circulate this to as many as possible UK residents quickly.

Kemble is but the start of what could be a rapid loss of aviation facilities, and other general aviation airfields.

Signed up also.

Note that the no. of complaints from residents when the Red Arrows were there = 0

Might be nothing in that of course
