Sad to see Colerne dying a slow death. I have many happy childhood memories of the base in the sixties visiting relatives in the village and watching aircraft ( mainly Hastings) bashing the circuit, and the odd visiting type if you were lucky! The village seemed to reverberate to the sound of piston...
