I agree with Moggy. They were obviously somewhere they shouldn’t have been, with no good reason for being there. Better safe than sorry, I’m afraid.

The report in the local rag seems to think that the tower will stay but the new road will be very close to it, wouldn’t suprise me if the airfield were to go however. As 92fis says, houses (and businesses) are going up at an incredible rate and with the revised A14 making good progress it would seem logical to pop a link road in to ease some congestion, airfields in Suffolk are on the way out I’m afraid.

If this is true its horrible, horrible news. Rougham Airfield and Tower are absolute gems which should be preserved forever. Another win for the NIMBYs if this comes off.

Very nice. Looks like you had great weather for it!

Hoping to make my first visit to Duxford in 2005 tomorrow, continuing the missuses indoctrination (she used the scanner when I was at work today!) – depending on how early I get up!

The “deformed” Canberras look awesome! Would love to see one in British airshow skies…

As a kid I liked Bagpuss, Mary Mungo and Midge, Camberwick Green, Trumpton, Chigley, Ivor the Engine, The Clangers, Roobarb, The Herbs, Hector’s House, Magic Roundabout, Thunderbirds.

Is now the right time to admit to having the complete series of Bagpuss and Dogtanian on DVD? 😉

Rover’s problem is that they simple aren’t competitive in the modern marketplace. Hideous old overpriced models which are bought only by the elderly. Poor build quality and about as easy to resell as a pair of soiled underpants. The government should leave Rover well alone, stop trying to election points-score, and let the company die with at least a little dignity.
