Beages, i wouldn't speculate about RMAS too publicly, rumours are already running around about what the MoD might do with Victory College now that Jnr Div has moved out. Since the demise of the SMC/SGC/WSC into the CCC Victory has lacked a clear and distinct role, so I suspect the mandarins are already thinking the unthinkable.

I don't suppose that it has crossed the mind of Geoff Poon (tang) that the whole point of Lyneham as a logistics base is that it serves the SE and SW of England, where incidentally, the bulk of the most deployed army units are based. Common sense might suggest that Brize and Lyneham are best placed to serve the needs of the ARRF, UN et al.

The rumours about Odiham going to the AAC has been mooted before, and no doubt will be mooted again. It's hard to see the army going in there without having to lose a camp somewhere else in the UK.

Head up @rse MoD?
