Does anyone now the latest on Dunsfold's future?
There are reports that the planned sale to a US investment firm fell through (https://destinationcranleigh.net/dunsfo ... -collapse/). The airfield seems to get very few movements but Aviation Filming/Aces high still seem to be busy filming (An-12 visited back in February and their twitter seems to show lots of filming going on) and someone felt it viable to land two 747s there in the past two years.
For how much longer will Dunsfold have flying activity? How much longer until the site is finally built upon?

Re: Dunsfold
My dad knows a bloke who knows a bloke who knows the bloke who does stuff there. I'll ask him and get back to you.
I do know that aside from those you mentioned there's barely been any aircraft in or out for several years now.
I once enjoyed an ear-bleeding school visit there in about 1987/8 to watch the Harriers.

Re: Dunsfold
Building effectively a new town in the area was always a crazy idea, on the border of 3 large councils none of which had the schools and health / public services to support it. There was a pipedream of it becoming a sort of Venice due to the nearby Wey and Arun canal but that's also being restored at a snail's pace.
Also no public transport to speak of one bus an hour between Horsham and Guildford.

A new road from the perimeter to the centre of the airfield is currently under construction.
