"Lossie and Kinloss both BLACK @ 2200hrs, Leuchars OK; better for QRA, or just better equipped?"
Clutching at straws? Lossiemouth is just in the final stages of building up its full snow and ice clearance capability. Once this is in place (over the next week or so I hear) both runways will be kept open, and all squadron operating surfaces and taxiways - 24/7. So no peace and quiet over the winter period!
