Petition · past parliament

Please rethink the sale and closure of RAF Scampton.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

With the sale of RAF Scampton a huge part of the RAF’s history could be lost. Perhaps consider making the airfield the third site for the RAF Museum, who have been short of space for their displays for some time. Perhaps a joint venture with moving the BBMF to the site could kick start a museum?
Perhaps co-locate both the BBMF and Red Arrows at Scampton as the public part of the RAF and have somewhere both teams can be viewed by the public.
Having space to expand the RAF Mueeum would allow for the future of the RAF to be remembered whilst providing a tourist attraction for Lincolnshire.
