I think there was a thread last year saying 2016 was the last Bulldog Bash at Long Marston Airfield near Stratford on Avon. Well it's back again in August this year but it is definitely the last time at this venue. I just read in local paper that all businesses and clubs (there's a model flying club based there) have been served notice of eviction for November this year. The site already has outline planning permission for 400 houses and in Stratford councils 'strategic plan' (an oxymoron for self serving council politicians in my opinion) it is earmarked for 3500 homes. The developer has committed to build a western bypass for Stratford in order to get approval.
Still - key point is it could be the last time to go and see drag racing at Marston.
I haven't been for years, but still feels like passing of an era. Might try to make it along this year.
