Ues, I'm aware of the 737 capability at Lossie.
If the P8 is FMS and the E7 is DMS that'll be interesting, but presumably the 'rules' won't actually apply when they work for the US hegemony.
Give me a b, give me a o, gimme an o, gimme an m.... No, really.
Why this sudden interest in basing assets in Scotland you ask? Because if you're trying to plug the GIUK gap, the Home Counties are not the best place to base your ASW aircraft. If you've already decided Scotland is the best place for your ASW aircraft, it makes sense to locate your AEW&C aircraft there too given they are of a highly similar type in terms of support, as you already answered for yourself.
