The Western end of the Portland patch is covered by Chivenor at night anyway-it wouldn't be difficult to do during the day as well
O.K. I'll rise to the bait.
When Portland receive their new faster aircraft, the 139, maybe they will be in your 'patch' a bit more often during the day? That is presuming ARCCK do not do their usual protectionism bit when considering taskings!
Now for my bit of bait.
Harmonisation sees both Chivenor and Culdrose closed and replaced by a unit at St. Mawgan/Newquay. This will allow a new unit to be formed at Manston and push Wattisham up to Great Yarmouth.
Rescue 1
Yes, new hangars at Portland and Lee. Milllions of pounds worth!! If the military are to be used as role models,then they are both for the chop.
S92 at Portland? Gets my vote.
Lee do not need a large aircraft seeing as they spend most of their time acting as air ambulance for the Isle of Wight.
