Greenham Common control tower funding for refurbishment

Don’t forget the place has been reactivated, there is a squadron of X wings based there now.

Good to see. First place I saw a KC-97, so never to be forgotten. It’s great to hear that the tower will be refurbed.

But times move on and minus its runway, buildings and hardstandings, G Common is still a lovely place.

This is great news. I remember filming the Air Tattoo in the 1980’s. Sadly don’t have the footage anymore. Thought Greenham Common would be operational for ever at the time. I remember the campaigner’s outside the fence, and nuclear bunkers. Unbelievable to see what’s left of it now. Fantastic Airshow’s just about every flying machine on the planet were there. Stacks of barbeque burgers and Budweiser.

A welcome update on the BBC:

Here’s to next summer!

Great news! I don’t usually say this but I really hope they cut the trees down that now grow in front of the tower…

Cafe? Will they be flogging hash brownies and nettle tea brewed over a bender stove? As long as it tells the whole story and not just the CND version…
