of the buildings and trees on the site are protected. There are plans for between 400 and 500 homes on the site. Military housing was kept on the site for a further three years with a gradual rundown until all staff were transferred to RAF Wyton. The 95 homes left at Brampton were then bought up by a company who rent them out. Controversially, the Brampton Park Little Theatre on the base was approved for demolition in 2014. The building had been used as a cinema since the 1950s and had also been available for public use despite being on a military base. Support to keep the theatre had come from Joanna Lumley and Ian McKellen, but along with other non-listed buildings on the base, it was demolished. Airfield Brampton never had an airfield, although Wyton and Henlow used to. RAF Wyton was used by No. 57 Squadron RAF, Cambridge and London University Air Squadrons and 5 AEF flying the Grob Tutor, before they were transferred to RAF Wittering in 2014 apart from No. 57 squadron which was transferred to RAF Cranwell. RAF Henlow is used by 616 Volunteer Gliding Squadron flying the Grob Vigilant and leased out as a general aviation airfield.
