Must be room for 20(R) to move to Cottesmore?
Speaking with a couple of 'bona' mates in the pub (so its obviously a rumour!) but they said the height (amsl) of Cottesmore (400 ft-ish) makes it unsuitable for the OCU (something to do with the hover charateristics of the T10, particularly in the summer months). To move the Cott sqns back to Witt may require a reduction in front line GR9's. But then if the Carriers are under threat (again) who needs them ...
I reckon the base "closure" will be one already earmarked for closure (such as Lyneham or St Mawgan). It's all in the spin ....
