Thurleigh couldn't because of the proximity to the old main runway of the Bedford Autodrome circuit, plus the fact that the car auctions and car sales companies have modified and fenced a lot of the site including across the old runway.
Wyton is the same with fences and other obstructions although probably less hassle to return to an operational base than Thurleigh, as a lot of it is still MOD.
Wattisham being AAC would be the easiest one to get back into a fit state you would have thought if push came to shove, and probably Leuchars??
