The enormous pan at Marham that 9 and 31 sqns used for ~6 years after their return from Bruggen is currently unoccupied
Google Earth must be out of date then as I can only see 2 'small' pans at Marham (one with spots for 14 aircaft and the other with spots for 9)! OK, so it also has 2 HAS sites with space for 12 aircraft each.
Lossie also has 2 pans with spots for 13 and 8 aircraft on the near side. But, Lossie also has a pan with spots for 32 aircraft on the far side as well as the 2 HAS sites with space for 9 aircraft each.
Total current marked aircraft spots at Marham = 47. Total current marked aircraft spots at Lossie = 71.
Lossie is also close to low flying training areas, weapons ranges, will be the most northerly military airfield left in the UK, etc, etc, etc. So it is almost guaranteed that the GR4 base to be closed will be.....
