It becomes clear that private ownership is less affected by squatters.
Proximity from town affects squatters interest.
Economic interest of town plays a role.

Municipalities love airfields as easy ground for (allowing) squatter settlements.

Sad that nothing is sacred and/or respected.... oh well.... the battle continues...

I own a hangar at springs, and I welcome any thief to empty my fridge, money or the box pal!

Anyone popping in for a chat, ask before you just crack a beer, you never know which one has Fenol in it or Beutol!

Sounds cruel Turbo, but I reckon that is the type of fire you need to fight their fires ...

Airfields are very difficult to secure, and expensive to secure. Individual action is the answer. It's called passive defence. Like Rattex.
