The first phase has also concluded that RAF Kinloss, RAF Wittering and RNAS Yeovilton are less likely to be future JCA bases; primarily because of environmental issues at Wittering and Kinloss and the length of the runways at Yeovilton and Kinloss.
What enviromental issues?
Runway length? What? For a STOVL aircraft?
Why do I get the feeling the basing will depend on one thing - getting votes for some Blairite MP?
