Course if the Army still has the temporary accomodation they built in double quick time for the 'Nightingale' hospital, it could be done, but where?
Personally I'm an advocate of putting them all on a spare cruise ship or car ferry. (Presumably Invincible, Illustrious and Ark Royal have already been disposed of)
and money had already been spent at Linton to prepare it.
