It will disappear from the AIP and Sky Daemon on 25th of February.

Per AIC Y 086/2020 there is nobody to give crossing service since the 18th of December. And Government aerodrome ATZ are not limited to "during the hour of watch of ATS/AGCS" like civilian ATZ and controlled airspace.
So you still have to avoid it for 15 days.

Not far from Catterick; surprised the Army doesn't take over and ruin it by buidling fences etc across it..

Probably the newest control tower in the Service, new Airmens' quarters (sorry, Family Accommodation!) built, runways only relatively recently re-surfaced (yes, THAT old chestnut.....) - it was a racing certainty to be closed. Nice to see one's tax-pounds being so well spent!

Every one of 10 RAF flying stations I served on, bar 2, have closed; and 1 of those 2 is barely worth calling a flying unit given the number of movements generated there.

(The country lanes serving the unit are in a dreadful condition; bet they're all repaired and resurfaced once the place closes!)


I informed you thusly............! :roll:

Hambleton District Council have just completed an extensive repair/resurface of most of the roads leading to the, now closed, aerodrome! The road through Newton-on-Ouse (the village before the usual approach road to Linton) which, for the last 25 years has resembled a ploughed field, now has a billiard-table finish to it! Part of the maintenance programme was to remove all the 'MoD Unit' (red outlined) road signs!!!
