RNAS Culham (HMS Hornbill) Development was created by PhilipOwen
Im a new member of the ARG community, Ive registered as Im hoping to get advice on what if anything can be done to save the buildings at what was once RNAS Culham. The site is in the pre planning application stage, planning permission is expected to be submitted in the Autumn. The proposals are to demolish the dozen or so hangars and other buildings adjacent to the Culham Science centre on what is called Culham No.2 Site which are currently used by local businesses and replace with low rise office buildings to house technology businesses. Are these buildings historically important and if they are is there a route to try to save them? Any thoughts would be welcome. Wikipedia

the site is on the front page of the developers website: www.ceg.co.uk/land/, and i attach a screenshot in case they change it with the develo0pment area marked.

Thanks all.

There is a 36 post topic over in the members area with a number of photos, here
www.airfieldresearchgroup.org.uk/forum/o...-culham?start=0#2516

I can see that there is at least one pressure group online interested in the changes ar Culham, realisticaly wether they will have any effect is another matter

You probably need to review some external resources, which may or may not help, I would start with these
