With all due respect, but,

Dont' the scrambled egg and MP's realise that they can't have all their eggs in one basket as it would jeopardise the very defence of the country. In my opinion Fighters need to be based around the whole country, which at present is OK. Overloading Coningsby is going to be a nightmare with all those movements of aircraft and activity of other Units (CRC). 1 ACC I assume will need some sort of hangar aswell, so where do BBMF go?

Wouln't it be easier to have BBMF and the Reds at Scampton? It's heritage is phenomenal and to get rid of it would be awful! I am not even sure if the RAF does need a shuffle The way it's going, they're will be 4 bases:


Coningsby - FJ
Waddington - ME
XXXX - RW
Cranwell - TRAINING

Tell if I've got a complete misconception of it all!
