Stn Cdr at Linton has stated in local press that Linton is safe for the time being; quotes from the article:-
"Speculation that Linton is to close are unfounded"
"I can therefore confirm that rumours about the Tucano moving to RAF Valley in North Wales are unfounded"
"Because the basic training of UKMFTS is still under consideration I will expect to have a far clearer picture of RAF Linton-on-Ouse's long term role by next summer"
