I have been told that the old watch tower at Boreham airfield used until recent weeks by NPAS and I think the Air Ambulance because the area is going to be for gravel extraction, most of the airfileds runways have gone over the past few years.
A real shame I have cycled up the old airfield many times even when it was home to Fords Development
Will be sad to see it go

Shouldn't have this been listed when all the others were about 10-12 years ago?

Yes, it'll be sad to see it go, especially as it's been in use for so long.
I got to visit it 2-3 years ago, taking some Air Cadets there.

I am guessing that the gravel is worth far more than a listed watch tower
