A dispute between Biggin Hill Airport and Bromley Council regarding the demolition of a World War Two dispersal hut has been amicably settled. The hut, associated with World War Two pilots during the Battle of Britain, was destroyed during Armistice Week last November, leading to allegations by the council that the airport breached its lease. The settlement involves the airport paying 300,000 pounds for heritage purposes, mainly benefiting the RAF Biggin Hill Museum. This agreement was reached to avoid the costs of a legal trial, with both parties prioritizing preservation efforts.
Biggin Hill Airport Limited has agreed to pay Bromley Council 300,000 for heritage purposes, two-thirds of which is reserved for the RAF Biggin Hill Museum and Chapel.
The dispute over the dispersal hut, used by World War Two pilots, was settled to avoid the additional costs and uncertainties a court battle would involve.
