The likely further consolidation of RAF bases following SDR will make the decision to close LYE seem very wise. The question is will the RAF have any runway S of the M4 - is even BDN safe?
The cost saving which will be £7.45m per year will take 46 yrs and 8 months to pay off, based on a £350m min move cost.
Hardly a wise decision!!!
All other arguments about operational effectiveness etc pale into insignificance against that kind of moronic financial planning....
