As has been said before there is a simple answer.

1. Close Tain.
2. Move GR4's South (reopen Honington. If Marham can operate 4 sqns from 2 HAS sites then Honington can. Mind you, the Rocks will have to park their toys elsewhere if they are still using the old 9 and XIII sites. Or disband the Regiment!).
3. Move the Yellow helicopters to Kinloss.
4. Close Lossie.
5. Put JSF (assuming we get them) into St Mawgan.
6. Finally, advertise heavily in Romania, Poland etc as to the delights of the Moray area.

May also have a small added benefit of improving retention amongst the fin crews who currently have hobsons choice - middle of no where (ie Marham) or the ar$e end of no where (ie Lossie). Not saying Honington was perfect but better than Lossie by far.

Simple really.
