From a 'profile of Moray' in scotland.org:
The local economy also relies heavily on the presence of two major RAF bases, which comprise 12 percent of Moray’s overall workforce. Moray is a fragile, remote area, which has the lowest average wages in Scotland together with a high dependency on the car with fuel costs comprising an increasing part of the household budget. There are high levels of demand for affordable housing resulting from the low wage economy within Moray.
Which must surely have been a major factor in the JSF basing decision.
I'm glad you enjoy it - and thanks for all the malt!
