www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/local-news/government-confirms-raf-scampton-used-8302206.ampThis will at the very least delay any regeneration of Scampton camp and airfield. Looked in to the people behind Scampton Holdings, all appear very credible. However, their website clearly stated a couple of weeks ago that they were seeking investors. So this £300million mentioned in the joint statement with WLDC seems to have been an optimistic goal rather than a signed and sealed investment deal. Too much of an irony to be timed a day before the press got a hold of the immigration centre plans, I suspect released tactically. Looks like the plans are for temporary accommodation so can’t imagine the infrastructure will be affected. I think the ambition to save some of the buildings is in achievable given the state they have been allowed to get into in the last 30 years, this includes the officers mess. Whilst it’s sad to lose a local airfield with so much history, I do think a bit too much is made of the importance of Scampton. Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire is dotted with former airfields from which many thousands of young men left to never return, what makes Scampton the special case?
