Smile Sea Level Rise - Bases

As our number of bases (baskets) is reducing I was wondering about the long term viability of the coastal bases to sea level rise.

I probably should know but is the runway published height above mean sea level?

Long time since I have been to Valley but I remember the Seaking area across the runway as being very close to the sea - literally a stones throw from the apron to the water edge. Certainly vulnerable I'd have thought - Presumably the runway and Hawk area too.

I assume there was a study before they decided to close Linton??

Lossie is a bit harder to tell across the golf course but it feels higher! Not just the hill!

Coastal ranges will presumably vanish - or at least just offer sea targets!

Can't think of anything else of note (still open) on the coast

I know somebody who would wish Coningsby as lower!!
