If they go to Leconfield there's even a roundabout and pongoes for FP. Which leads me to Chivenor with a higher class of FP available. Are the Brawdy runways still serviceable? Wattisham with Apaches to provide flying FP. If they hadn't dug the Boulmer runways up 19 and 20 Sqns. could temporarily adopt the aircraft. How about Honington - close to Marham and the Rocks could save on diesel. As for dispersal from Coningsby - may be they'll have to keep an airfield somewhere in the vicinity of Lincoln open after all. Just had an even madder thought - Thorney Island then I could go and watch the junior services play together. The heat is getting to me...

I suspect the reality will be Leeming, Leuchars, and ISK.
