We all know there are dozens of deactivated airfields across the UK but I seriously doubt anyone in the MOD is looking to reactivate any of them.

Maybe, if we must speculate, it would be better to discuss which of the three actual possibilities are most likely?!

Stop talking sense Bob!

None of the 3 airfields mentioned would suit the current incumbents and the disruption to the local area of wherever they decide to place R313 will be considerable too, except perhaps Leeming where the airspace is less busy than Lincolnshire.
