Jeremy, many thanks for clarifying this and what was a long and arduous process for us all! MOD received the notification of listing last December and we are disseminating the information to the relevant sites. It should be noted that during the long wait between proposal and listing we undertook to treat these buildings as if they were listed. If any HERS have concerns over any of the identified buildings still in MOD ownership please feel free to get in touch. We are also sympathetic to the wider management of the 20 key airfield sites identified in the report, and as one of the HPR pilot sites RAF Scampton now has an excellent set of management guidelines, not only for the listed hangers but the whole of the historic airfield. Once these are finalised then I'd be happy to release copies to those interested to see if they are of any use on airfields no longer in MOD ownership.

As airfields are still a very hotly contested space in planning terms, I am considering - and will follow this up with Robin - a national gazetteer of sites cross-referenced to their date, function, completeness etc. These recommendations now comprise the most comprehensive protection to aviation heritage in the world. WWII sites are a challenge that we could not grapple with successfully at the time, however. The inclusion of Scampton as a pilot in the Heritage Protection Review will open the door to how extensive landscapes of this type (other than conservation areas) be afforded a degree of protection.

"Dear List members Further to Julia Wise's posting regarding the recent results of the English Heritage Thematic Listing Survey of WWI and WWII airfield buildings, list members may be interested to learn that the National Monuments Record at Swindon does hold a large body of data on military aviation, particularly WWII but also including some WWI sites. This includes digital data in the Archives and Monuments Information England (AMIE) Database and related spatial data held in our corporate GIS systems. The WWII dataset of airfields and related buildings or structures was enhanced between 2003 and 2005. There are some 1,575 records in this dataset including 550 military airfields: the overwhelming majority of the actual airfields have been polygonized as GIS data. These records will be concorded with the new listings in due course, but in any case where appropriate the proposed grades suggested in the 2003 Thematic Survey were generally noted in the full AMIE record. Please note that this AMIE dataset includes many monuments that do not enjoy statutory protection or indeed are no longer extant and it is not the dedicated Listed Buildings database. Part of the textual information can also be viewed by searching on English Heritage's PastScape web site at http://pastscape.english-heritage.org.uk We are currently exploring the feasibility of extending the enhancement of the AMIE military aviation records to the WWI dataset. The NMR also holds data on over 19,700 military aircraft crash sites. Many of these are in the in the maritime environment but also in terrestrial upland areas, for example Cumbria, the Peak District, the Pennines and the moors of the south-west of England. We also hold over 19,000 records derived from the Defence of Britain database: these are in a raw migrated form at present and will be the subject of a data concordance enhancement project in the near future to iron out duplications with existing NMR records.
