Belvedere was a helicopter re-basing stream. Now that it's been canx everyone is talking of Lyneham's demise - Belvedere cancellation leads to other options for the base being considered; kinda clears the way for the Army to take the place over; ideal place for a Joint SF air-wing or to rebase 16 AAB right next to Sailsbury Plain and Sennybridge TAs. Could even be used for troops returning from BAOR (he he)

Don't reckon she's that dead just yet - look at Innsworth - now re incarnated as HQ ARRC in a few years!
