I'm sorry to say that, but it seems were talking about a backyard with some remains of a former airfield in the middle of a village.
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=52.2...4&source=embed In all honesty this is neither the right place nor has this museum a future - because of the location. Afaik, there are plenty of bigger sites outside villages rotting, maybe it's time to move on and focus on one of those? |

“I am not sure if you have ever visited the site or the museum – it is not a backyard but instead a completely intact complex of 6 wartime buildings & 2 air raid shelters. I can’t think of a better site for the museum and I believe the museum does have a future telling the story of an important wartime airfield & we have as much right to survive as similar museums such as Bassingbourn, Parham, Rougham etc that tell the stories of their airfields.” Jason Webb BAMG Chairman |
Who owns that piece of land?

I made a quick overlay. Could you please point me to where these remaining buildings are? Couldn't find them on the satellite images.

" Bottisham was in some ways unique in that many of the airfield buildings were dotted throughout the village and not on the airfield. The museum is on the old Site 4 of Bottisham airfield & we are fortunate that site 4 survives in its entirety virtually as it was in 1944.” Jason Webb ------------------------------------------------------- Having visited there this summer you really do get the feeling of going back and treading in places where things were so different 60+ years ago.All the buildings are in close proximity and to me once they have been destroyed and built on that would be a bit of history gone. |
