So,
We're losing Cardington, Alconbury,Oakington, Farnborough,Aston Down,and the SoTT at Locking..

So that's the home of Imperial aviation, a Bomber Command/USAAF base, Bomber Command/Stirling base,the home of aviation in this country including the Empire Test Pilots school,An airfield I want to go over with a metal detector and ditto for the last one.

I can only dread what my Lords and masters at MOD have planned in 2002
