Aborted sell off of RN Air Station

According to an article in The Times today the outgoing 2nd Sea Lord has launched a blistering attack on the current woke culture in the Navy. The interesting part, however, was the sentence in the piece that during his tenure he wanted to sell off some of the existing Naval estate including 'one of its air stations' but was prevented from doing so.

Now as the FAA has only two air stations, I presume the chop would have fallen on Culdrose and everything would have been squeezed into Yeovilton. I guess that might still happen one day, but for now it seems like squeezing a quart into a pint pot?

A typical fish head's view of air operations and aviation? Or a logical move?
