IMO Lossiemouth and Kinloss should be both be cut and amalgamated with only one base surviving.

Morayshire was of strategic importance during the cold war but this threat is no longer relevant.

Whilst I am glad Leuchars is now secure as a future Eurofighter base, I think the argument for keeping two bases in such a desolate and isolated area now that there is little threat is contary to the new quick reaction doctrine.
