The list of soon to be closed bases was speculation on my part, given what's happened and what is likely to happen, i.e a single point of entry to the RAF. I can't see the likes of Halton being retained, however time will tell. There was a SPP study in 2008 which supported closing it, however I understand politics won the day then. I imagine a much reduced RAF will no longer require 2xPhase 1 training units and Cranwell will win the fight to see which one closes. The Army have a habit of taking over former RAF bases i.e Bassingbourn, North Luffenham, Swanton Morley, Bruggen, Innsworth, Stafford, Brawdy, hence my assumption they'll probably take a few more on given the drawdown in Germany. I'm sure the Army planners will look at the facilities/housing available and find some suitable units to move in.
