Thanks for the extra information bomberboy…
The barracks closure has been something which has been known about for a little while to those whom it directly affects.
I know a little bit, but i’m not at liberty to say right now.
I don’t believe it will be all doom and gloom and hopefully the month of May will yield a bit more, to which as much support would be the order of the day, but there is much to do for those involved.
Fair enough, well I am sure you will agree that as much exposure as possible is the best way to rally support so the more information available the better as and when possible! I am sure there must be many more like me that are not ‘directly affected’ or involved (I live on the South Coast unfortunately) but feel strongely about Bassingbourn…;)
There has been something in front of the old control tower for quite some time, but the bit you have seen was indeed a more recent modern, elarged construction.
Yes, I first visited in 1996 at that time I believe nothing or very little was there…
There are some people working very hard to ensure this is what happens and even with a little luck, perhaps even a little ‘expansion re-vamp’, but they do need support and of course the dreaded wonga.
Thats great news… I for one, check the tower museum website regularly but unfortunately it is not often updated (I realise it is difficult).
Please keep the forum updated with as much information as possible – and any ways in which others can help!:)
