Airfields of Britain
@ABCTlive
The Airfields of Britain Conservation Trust was established in 2006 to acknowledge the enormous contribution UK airfields have made since 1909.
Absolutely shameful what is happening today concerning Tollerton - this famous and highly regarded airfield both should and could have been saved. nottinghampost.com/news/local-new… abct.org.uk/airfields/airf…
Now one of Bicester's hangars on fire, following other recent fires at Old Sarum and Desborough - closely monitoring this situation, hugely worrying. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… abct.org.uk/airfields/airf…
ABCT will be back in Northumberland, following general public demand, to unveil memorials to Acklington (May 10, 2 pm) and Brunton (May 11, 10.15 am) - make sure to be there. abct.org.uk/.../airfi.../a… abct.org.uk/airfields/airf…
The latest from Old Sarum... at the very least there should be a full and rigorous combined police and fire investigation to find out exactly what has happened - ABCT willing to help, if our assistance is requested. salisburyjournal.co.uk/news/25099855.…
ABCT will be in Cambridgeshire to unveil memorials to Oakington (March 28, 10.30 am) and Bourn (March 29, 12 noon) - already significant general public interest. abct.org.uk/airfields/airf… abct.org.uk/airfields/airf…
Help save Ossington, as ABCT is already trying to do, from huge new solar farm plans - the local populace not only hugely appreciate their airfield but simply do not want this plan to happen. Deadline for comments Thurs February 20. gnrsolarpark.co.uk abct.org.uk/airfields/airf…
Due to significant general public demand and interest, reposting the BBC article about ABCT and the Director General's involvement from five days ago. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

At the unveiling of a memorial to Pulham Airfield in #Norfolk this morning. It’s one of many being marked by the charity @ABCTlive. You can now see this stone outside the @PennoyerCentre in Pulham St Mary (which also does a mean sandwich!) See more on @BBCLookEast at 1740.
