Panshanger saved ??
Well perhaps, promising from the local council, Panshanger Airfield has been removed from the local plan in a council U turn.
http://http://www.whtimes.co.uk/news...turn_1_4626074 The talk is of moving the runway 50m North and allowing the landowner to build a more limited amount of houses. Looks like they are going to approve Option 5.1 in the consultants report below, which shows the re-alligned runway and switching the operations side from the South to the North http://panshangerpeople.org.uk/wp-co...Mariposa-1.pdf |
This is great news coming so soon after the re-opening of Bognor (Lec) airfield.
|
Bognor (Lec) airfield has reopened could you give us some more details?
|
This would be great news, it was so sad to lose another airfield in the SE
|
Link No 1 no longer works.
As one who used to live on Wellington Drive, very close to the airfield, I find the greed of the estate 'developers' sickening. There was already significant housing development in the area when I left and increasingly there were brownfield sites becoming available in Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City itself. For an organisation who claims to be helping to keep the airfield open not to be able to spell hangar correctly says a lot in itself! |

Thanks Trident :ok:

Barry,
FWIW, Curiously the 'hanger' in Panshanger ..... is sort of "mis-spelt". I suppose yonks ago folk were equally afflicted with poor spelling. Look at how many letters and even august flying magazines manage to get it wrong. Spell check is a great introducer of such errors and surreptitiously too ! mike hallam |
Yep, as I was told many years ago, hangErs are for coats, hangArs are for aircraft.
It's almost as bad as people using the word 'airframe' when they mean aircraft, 'cos as any fule kno, an airframe has no engines. Right, I'm off to get a life now... |
Looks like Kemble will also be saved. Fingers crossed.
|
Plymouth next ?

Seagoon:
Erm, will my aeroplane need a hangar? Crun: It would lose it's shape hanging on a nail, you know. |

Likewise "Hanger Lane Gyratory". At the start of Hanger Hill. Parts of the wood are still there, as they are at Panshanger.
|
However, Mariposa have misspelt Hangar in their Masterplan.........
