Roland,
At least you made the effort to post once before starting this thread after registering this morning! What do you do for a living again? As has already been reported by the media
, the announcment made in the House of Commons gives the planned closure of Lyneham to coincide with the end of the C-130K fleet in 2012. Rumours abound of course as to dates ranging from 2004 to 2040 depending on which fleet the person you're talking to flies on. Good luck with the story.
