From Facebook it appears SSVC removed the equipment from the Astra in Sept 2018 and the cinema has now been re-opened at time of writing (Aug, 2019)

Built in 1925, the Astra is a brick structure with a balcony. Seating around 589 the balcony was initially for officers only. It was run by Services Kinema Corporation and from 1982 by SSVC, whose website lists current programming.
