Which has now all been ripped out from MOD Woodbridge, as well as the now civilian owned Upper Heyford & Bentwaters.
Any new USAFE base in the UK would have to come from a current MOD owned site, so the septics would have to start all over again from scratch anyway, which ever one it was.
I still doubt it's a likely scenario tbh, but probably moving AAC out of Wattisham would make most sense, or moving the Regt out of Honington as the other one, as USAF would likely want a base, if they do, in the same part of the country as Lakenheath?
Has Linton been formally sold off yet?
