Just read it and thought the same #saveourairfields. Tomorrow’s commercial airline pilots rely on them for their training. @JeremyClarkson come and visit Fairoaks (one of 40 plus UK airfields under threat - from housing estates) @fairoaks2020 @BBGA1
.@JeremyClarkson, amusing article but misses a point. No light aircraft = no future commercial pilots. GA provides opportunities for young people starting careers. Perhaps you’d like to join our STEM Jobs & Skills group on a visit to see for yourself how GA benefits young people?

Sad! Don’t let there be more closures @fairoaks2020 #saveourairfields. Vital assets and important for our future pilots @APPG_GA @aopa_uk @BBGA1
Probably my last time leaving Dunsfold, a few days ago after taking a student there for circuits... another airfield bites the dust as houses are due to be built there soon. @gabuyer @SkyDemonVFR @APPG_GA

The way things are heading in our industry smaller / electric / hybrid ac will be coming ever sooner. They will need airfields like these - not big hubs, runways and expensive infrastructure. #saveourairfields. @APPG_GA this should be a conference topic.
This morning @mhclg published its proposal to overhaul the planning system. It is vital that airfields are not considered for housing development as ‘growth’ sites in accordance with Para 104f of the National Planning Policy Framework. Info here: https://t.co/OtRfht5iOK

Hopefully this means in the interim there will be a freeze on all current planning proposals for those airfields under imminent threat? #aviation #SaveOurAirfields #FightforFlight @RedhillAviation @RedhillATC @pilotshubuk @GenerateRedhill @reigate_redhill
This is a significant change to @mhclg planning guidance, but lots more to do to protect our vital #GeneralAviation sector!

Another step forward! #SaveOurAirfields
Fantastic news! Earlier today, @wiltscouncil Strategic Planning Committee voted unanimously to REFUSE the 315-house housing application. Another step forward in the long battle to conserve this unique heritage & Conservation Area site for future generations. #SaveOldSarum

@Flyer_Magazine @GA_APPG The time must come to see sense. Enough short term money-hungry housing developments - let’s see some long term #aviation strategy. #FightforFlight #LongMarston #Netherthorpe #SaveOurAirfields #pilotshortage #UKAviation #GeneralAviation #flying #avgeeks

The urgency signalled by the new government to increase house-building means it’s now more important than ever to change the definition of airfields as ‘previously developed brownfield’ sites, according to the Strategic Airfield Network (SAN). https://t.co/vX4iHNDYmz
