You really are a pompous idiot. Have you actually spoken to anyone senior in the RAF on what their base closure options would be? I guarantee it wouldn't be to close them - they offer opportunities that some of the bases in England do not. It is the govt that will force these decisions - the govt your Scottish leader is part of (whether you like it or not). As is usually the case when base closure is mentioned, the locals suddenly rally round saying don't close it when for years they have been whining about the noise/english/military presence/blah.

I can guarantee that any GR4 crew (and any RAF crew) would make every possible effort to steer a doomed jet away from anything that might cause damage. Amazingly enough hillsides always do better than the jet in a fight, so a bit of a clean up and you don't know it's been there. Video is a view through a straw, it doesn't show you the wider picture.

Wind your neck in and be glad we don't have 2 fatalities.

Getting off my soap box now.
