First glance

My reading of that is:

Any land that has buildings on it is a brownfield site. However, in the past, the fact that airfields have a lot of open ground as well attached the building meant there...

ATC by text

I'm a Radio 4 fan and tonight @ 21:00, Leading Edge (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/leadingedge.shtml) is, among other things, going to report on a trial of ATC by text message.
