Teesside/Durham or whatever it calls itself these days isn't really that close to be a factor, but would be a convenient diversion.
Waddington - rather busy with resident aircraft and visitors, no spare hangarage. The proximity of the A15 and the road traffic issue which that would cause whenever the Team was departing or landing would be rather significant.
Wittering - full of plastic pigs flying UAS and AEF most of the time and much closer to the A1 than Leeming is to the A1M.
Of the 3, Leeming seems the obvious choice. Which no doubt means that Swanton Morley will actually be chosen!
Ref. Waddington...the A15 will be diverted shortly (year or so) and will no longer run at the end of the runway...just a thought!
