The Southampton Council Planning Department have recommended that the Planning Panel accept their report to approve the application. We will do what we can to challenge this and at least get a 'stay of execution' for the Flight Shed.

The Shed can be seen, with the doors open in this still from a probably late 1940s/early 50s film taken by the family of Viv Bellamy and posted on YouTube by Martin Pengelly.
