The end for Coventry

Coventry airport sadly closed for good a couple of days ago as the site is being developed. This brings an end to 90 years of activity including use as a fighter airfield in WWII. Fortunately the Midland Air Museum on the edge of the airport is on privately owned land and not under threat. The Nimrod that was on airport ground has been moved and is being dismantled before relocating to Manston.

I can at least say that I have flown from Coventry albeit only once a good many years ago when I had a pleasure flight in the Twin Pioneer. Sadly the aircraft has also seen better days and no longer flies.
