This has been a rumour since I was with the VGS 5 years ago.
It's a perfect site for the Logistics people, purpose built accom, loads of undercover storage out on the airfield in those lamella hangars, hard surfaces for driver training, a runway big enough for hercs, a railway at the airfield, close to the M4, near Salisbury Plain, near Lyneham, near Brize, refurbished married quarters, nice part of the world.....
It's a perfect defence establishment - of course the dozy tw*ts will sell it off for instant profit.
Welcome to the world of the accountant - we know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.........
