Controversy At Biggin Hill On BBC TV

Post by Bob Badger » Wed Aug 23, 2017 9:27 am

Hi,
Some of you may have caught an item on the BBC TV News, concerning Bromley Council's plans to demolish part of the RAF Memorial Chapel, to replace it with an ugly square box of a building which will become the long awaited Battle of Britain Museum. The plans for a mini 'Duxford' style building that could hold large artifacts and even an aircraft have been pushed aside for this 'Box,' which it seems will have just video displays and photos. The 'Duxford' style building would have had no effect on the Chapel,whilst the new plan requires the demolition of the Vestry, a fine brick building of 70 square metres, housing the Air Crew Association stained glass window. To view the BBC TV report please click on the Downe Village website, where it is the first item. http://www.downe-kent.org.uk
An On-Line Petition has been created to stop the demolition and persuade the Council to give us a Museum 'worthy' of Biggin Hill, the 'Strongest Link'. Please Google: Protect Biggin Hill RAF Chapel or just click on the link below. Please sign and share, thank you! 12,500 have already signed.

Interesting that "Bob Badger" on here and "Rita" on UKAR are both posting the same sort of content, in the same style, and are both using bold font.

Surely they're not the same person?! :whistle: :whistle:

I can assure you EGVP that I possess something that Rita Radford (the creator of the Petition) does not have, a ......
