| “ | The era of Brough as a live airfield now looks finally to be over. A few months ago the conversion of the former "flying club" / air traffic control tower building into a local "business enterprise centre" (or some such) for Brough began, and the sandblasters moved in to clear up the sorry state of the exterior walls.
Now I see that all the comms and weather equipment on the roof has gone, and I'm therefore guessing that all the internal radio, runway lighting and radar consoles will have gone too though - of course - I have no way of knowing whether my guess is correct.
The main runway is still there ... for how much longer, I wonder ?
The last remaining resident flying aircraft, the B2 biplane, was apparently shipped out by road in February (reportedly its CofA expired in 2005 and was not renewed) and can now be found at the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden.
Sad days :(
