North Sea Range??

Post by airfixpilot » Mon Nov 24, 2014 7:35 pm

Just a quick question.. Why was the North Sea Range closed?. Was it marine traffic, Oil/Gas rigs, or wind farm development?.. As the wording says, it was a range in the north sea, so well away from land. :unsure:

David,

New Technology killed it off, Everyone bought pods that no longer meant it was worth keeping it running.

I can't remember the name of the pods they use now. I'm sure someone else out there can
