A wretched place for engineering test flying with its short runway and dismal weather factor, StAthan.

Although Scrapheap Challenge did a grand job with major servicing of the old FunBus, the Red Dragon hangar was a farce of epic proportions and the only reason for some spurious 'Defence Academy' down there would be to keep the Viet Taff politicos happy.....

It makes no sense to relocate from Cosford - which is probably why it's bound to happen...
