RAF Bircham Newton - Current Use

Current Use

After closure as an operational airfield in 1966, the airfield became the home of the Construction Industry Training Board. The runways have gone, but the majority of buildings on the site, including some hangars and the control tower, remain in use by the CITB. The control tower was scheduled for demolition in 2008 due to its poor condition.

Famous quotes containing the word current:

    “I don’t see America as a mainland, but as a sea, a big ocean. Sometimes a storm arises, a formidable current develops, and it seems it will engulf everything. Wait a moment, another current will appear and bring the first one to naught.”
    —Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)

    “If the current is right, one can drift to success.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
