"......whilst all the bases are in Scotland or East Anglia."
Which 'bases in East Anglia' would those be, then?
Marham and, err..............
Coltishall, Duxford, Feltwell, Honington, Martlesham Heath, North Weald, Oakington, Stradishall, Waterbeach, Wattisham, Watton, West Raynham?
Which other one(s) did you mean?
Join the RAF, work your gonads off through IOT, EFT and BFTS...and then it's Valley and Jockistan. That should really encourage folks to go the FJ route.
Or else it's the ME route to Brize or Waddo and err, well, that's about it if the idiots do close Lyneham. Or the corgi-carriers at Northolt. Or Jockistan again...
Or go RW and enjoy Benson and, for the time being at least, Odiham?
