Some more gems just released from the disaster that is Project 'Future Brize'
SFA build now not complete until
2016
C130 hangar due for completion late
2012/early
2013 - aircraft move Jul 2011!
47 AD hangar won't be ready until the end of
2011 - meaning 5/6 months of split location ops for the unit with uncertainty as to where the loads will be prepped
Extra money being spent to build cycle path network to allow access to the stn - the rumour of not taking a motor vehicle onto the stn if you live within 3 miles is
true
RAF Fairford will be used to house personnel, aircraft and equipment until RAF Brize Norton is complete.
Officer's Mess and Sgt's Mess new build will be complete on time but is estimated to be short of rooms by
25%.
Now, I'm all for the co-location of the AT and AR fleets and agree with the principle and cost-saving measures but surely we could postpone the move until
everything is complete?
Or hands up those who want to spend the first 3 years commuting from Fairford or anywhere else within the 25 mile radius? Even better - how about moving 3 times in 2 years from SFA into SSFA and back into SFA
