Ah Daniel, so sad to hear of the closure of Wigram Air Force Base...

I was wondering how that campaign was going, its seems our emails to your politicians haven't paid off this time...
Its terrible that they sell off such a historically sigificant site, but to simply build houses on it is disgraceful...

One can only hope that this won't be repeated in the future

Fantastic photos, a real tribute to Wigram
 
Great shots Dan. Nice collection of a historic event...even tho' its a sad one !

Dont suppose you thought about taking your Corsair along for this sad day ?. Would have looked great trundling along on the ramp
 
Cheers

Considered taking it but it was meant to rain which was a big put off
