Isn't that nice! I hope you love the over-spill that our imbecilic council agreed to take on. I hope that you make Coventry Council pay properly!Originally Posted by Lex

Haha! It's great that our greenbelt's being used for such a brilliantly thought out scheme; of course we won't ask for payment - it's our honour!
In a way, it's good that the 100-home development has been turned down, but the 30 home development will basically be an estate of hugely expensive homes, at that'll be the only way the builders will make their money: http://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/...en-light-9636/
If approved, this and future development will put the kibosh on the Bulldog Bash, Global Gathering and the regular drag racing events at Long Marston airfield: http://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/...nded-approval/
Do they still race at Long Marston? I used to race there in the 70s.
Is the air 'museum' still there? The aircraft were in a pretty poor state when I last looked.
Yes, drag racing still happens there. I don't know if the museum's still there - it's not well advertised if it is!! (There's an aircraft museum at Wellesbourne airfield which is open most Sundays; I've never been, but there's loads of interesting aircraft there, plus you can look around/in the Vulcan occasionally)
I spent my early working life on them, I can usually tell the guides more than they can tell me.
I went round the Wellesbourne museum a few years back. There were some interesting artifacts there, but the guide spoiled things by his lack of knowledge.
