yes BT own the base. fascinating place to take the kids! it is being closed down as to operations, from there soon. but will still be a tourist attraction. see that disabled bay on Matts feed, thats my usual parking bay once a month-my youngest loves the place. if anyone is passing remember parking is free to use the cafe and there are toilets and a park/play area that you can make use of whilst you are parked up, the same up the road at cauldrose helicopter base viewing enclosure-another good place for the kids-lots of helicopters, namely merlins, lynx and seakings along with hawks and sometimes the odd harrier and jet-streams flying daily. my youngest daughter did her work experience there with the search and rescue and what a great time she had!!! handy places to know about!! hope you had a great holiday Matt!!!

No, I was trying to work out if you car was a n reg given the face lift treatment or a proper face lift and I cant do two things at once, only women can do that. I have a a plate on my 94 granada scorpio so I know number plates can lie. Did you enjoy your holiday in the scorpio reserve.
