Ha ha ha... you're spot on!!! In terms of numbers (of personnel and buildings that aren't falling down or full of asbestos) surely Scampton should be a satellite of Kirton?
Then, when 1ACC vacates KIL's SHQ the CO could move in and no-one would have to worry about refurbishing Scampton SHQ's top floor!
Then let English Heritage have Scampton, since it's so important to them, and watch with despair as it continues to rot under their stewardship.
Although, of course, the old Officers' Mess lawns would still be mown. The paint is peeling, the windows are boarded up, there is an unsightly chain-link fence all the way around it... but at least English Heritage are spending tax-payers' money to keep the lawns tidy.
