I never understood why the CHF was never moved into Chivenor to be based alongside its main customers, apart from the cost of maintaining the airfield facilities. Perhaps they could do this now along with the Pongo Wildcats and rename it RNAS Chivenor. So far so good, BUT let's shift the Pinger Merlins to Yeovilton to fill the vacated space. Then spend millions on moving the simulator, MDMF and everything else to Somerset; 750 can shack up in the ex-FRADU hangar on the south side, SFDO can squeeze in somewhere and lots more dosh can be saved by closing Culdrose.

That's just the sort of silly bl00dy idea some idiot somewhere would come up with.
