I laugh at the comment in the Telegraph

"Possible future savings by scrapping the scheme include up to £50 million a year on maintenance and support costs and £100 million for the salaries of 1,800 military and 300 civilian staff at RAF Kinloss. "

What they dont realise is they are just located elsewhere so there is no saving at all! 1300 people I can tell you now there is no room at any other base at present to locate these numbers of people. Benson has just started putting single people in Hotels due to no acomodation.
