All valid points

Woodvale not suited to Winch Launch VGS as I believe there would be a conflict with Tutor Ops. I believe that was why 631 VGS was re-equipped with Vigilant as it has previously been a Winch launch VGS at Sealand.................
Kirton being sold
Llanbedr not MoD owned any more as far as I know.....
Mildenhall now has stay of execution to 'at least 2024....'
Woodbridge - Airfield not now owned by MoD as far as I know.........
Sculthorpe has often been mooted but has a contamination issue so has never been approved
Cottesmore - good point but I think is long and thin
Chetwynd not really suited I think - probably a bit on the small side. Is it still in use as an RLG ??

Manston was OK for Ops although later on traffic became an issue. Northern grass was only small but suited basic ops (like Cranwell North). Now there is nothing there.....................
