Was Lossie not previously RNAS?
Yep! AKA HMS Fulmar.

Why is it, in todays changing environment, essential to keep the Nimrod at ISK and fighters at Leuchars? Apparently the threat from round the corner has gone! So for once, apply common sense and base the new aircraft at locations that suit the tasking.
Well ok Markerboy - where would you put them? I think they're just as valid where they are going than anywhere else. The cold war is over granted so in today's environment where would they go? Why move squadrons plus infrastructure to other bases. (Nimrod) you've got a point about Leuchars though. Would it not be more sensible to move 'Other' Nimrods from Wad up to ISK?
