Everyone liked St Mawgan and thats now closed.
Already been said on numerous threads but 'what if' an incident occured at Brize and the runway is closed for hours on end or for that matter, hours of dense fog?
No transports or tankers will get airborne... and those already in the air will end up at Manchester probably, miles from their intended destination because Lyneham will be full of helicopters.
Whereas before, atleast if Lyneham wasn't fogged in, AT could get airborne and in...and all the eggs were not in one basket so to speak.
