Helicopters? Well anyone could see how Odiham is a perfect site for closure because of its location. It wouldn't be much of a surprise if Benson closed too, and the whole helicopter fleet moved to Lyneham as rumoured. It makes good sense (in a bizarre, MoD-esque kind of way).
That is about the gist of the cunning plan - make an SH superbase at Lyneham, stick all the AT into Brize, prob sell of ODI and bring the AAC into Benson.
Just a shame that the plan is starting to unravel now that JHC have seen the state of Lyneham and exactly how much it will cost to bring it up to scratch to house all the SH fleets. And you know what JHC are like when it comes to spending money - I think they've been taking lessons from Gordon an Prudence!
And then of course, sticking all the AT at Brize. That won't be an issue will it. The Army moan and complain when one flight to / from theatre is delayed; what do you think will happen when the entire airfield goes u/s in an asymmetric attack and no flights are coming or going? Or maybe pulling everyone back into Basrah is the trial run for all 'Project All Eggs In One Basket'.
