It's sad to think that Beaufort Park, where I spent a good deal of my
working life, is probably like that now. My only sonde experience was
at Crawley, or rather Pease Pottage, and that probably has a Tesco
built on it now. My old MMetO, Gloucester, has a Homebase. I
recently heard that the RAF, which must have employed a few thousand
in the Gloucester area (Barnwood, Innsworth, Quedgely) has finally
left the old RAF Record and Pay Office at Innsworth.

Gloucestershire used to be virtually one RAF runway, judging by the
number of airfields there were. Bizarrely, most of them were in the
Cotswolds.

Beaufort Park burnt down a few years ago. I do not know what has happened to
the site since its demise.

Part of the Pease Pottage site is still utilised by the Met Office, but the
rest was sold off.
