Hello

On the subject of airfield sell offs….any news of West Raynham and Sculthorpe amongst others that are no doubt, doomed to become housing estates as part of Dear Johnnie(The Fat controller/Two Jags) Prescott’s plans?

It’ll probably be housing or a ‘centre’ of some kind! Just do a Google for ‘Disused airfields+hansard’. There’s a bit of it knocking around, some going back four or five years. The housing part was well illustrated on a recent jaunt to Snaith. Apart from two sites (the WAAF accomodation sites) pretty much all of the dispersed sites have brand new housing on them, which fit quite neatly into the former wartime boundaries of these far-flung areas. With regards to the Hansards’s material, you’ll probable need to search within a page once open but it is quite interesting (well, ish) skimming around it as it puts their mention into context, quite a bit to do wth refugee centres.
