One exremely negative aspect of Kilo personnel moving south would be the inevitable impact on Standard of Living caused by the vast disparity in house prices between the North of Scotland and just about anywhere else in the UK.

It would be interesting to compare the percentage of Houseowners at Kinloss and Lossie to other places such as Lyneham, Waddington etc.

The concept of the interest free loan of your gratuity (seemed very popular this time last year) would have done much to help sort out home ownership - be it used to buy or to invest for later use.

In effect - at the 38/16 - 22 points, its your money lying dormant, why can't you use it.

Time will tell
