I believe it's gone way beyond the rumour stage now and it appears to be a straight choice between Wyton and Mildenhall. You'd imagine that Marshalls will ultimately be reluctant to rely upon a runway and airfield facilities which might or might not be available, depending on the USAF's priorities... but who knows, it remains undecided as far as I know.
