Considering all things, maybe we should consolidate to one or two superbases, certainly nothing in Scotland, they can fund their own. AD could use civilian airports. Think of the savings in manpower alone. Only need a couple of station commanders and no need for so many senior officers! That has got to be a good thing.
Likewise with the army, consolidate it to one regiment, and base them all somewhere like Tidworth or Catterick in one super garrision.
As for the navy I don't think they go to sea these days, so again consolidate all the ships to one base(there probably still won't be enough to fill it) take your pick of Portsmouth or Plymouth?
