Cranwell (Historical and handy as a diversion for the north of England and all EFTS/BFTS and 100 Sqdn)
Really?! Not truly in the north, short (in terms of FJ ops) runway without a cable... Me, I'd shut Cranditz (at least the airfield side of it) but another option would be to do all EFT stuff there rather than have the present 3 Stn affair. I think it would be quite a gutsy call from an Airship to shut the place, but might show a willingness to change which wwould reflect well on light-blue.

Bin Scampton, save Waddo as the ISTAR hub and use Coningsby for the East Coast stuff. Stop basing stuff at Leeming but keep the airfield (N/S runway, got a cable, semi-handy for OTAs E and F). Undecided on Leuchars vs Lossie, but agree that Marham should stay until TGRF dies.

Move helos into Wittering?! Isn't the bulk of their trade (barring Spade and Otterburn etc) on Salisbury Plain?
