In many respects its not Army/AAC per se that steals these airfields - its more the Movers and Stackers/Really Large Corps/Pussers looking for somewhere to store the things they over-ordered/hoarded/can't find a use for - hangars are ready-made stores! (And normally, in the jolly pleasant Cotswolds). Hullavington, Colerne, Upavon, South Cerney, Bicester, Aston Down etc etc and some might even argue that they have taken over Brize Norton, Lyneham and Northolt. These 'professional' logisticians (glorified store-keepers)are a Global Threat!
