MRA4 demise revisited

So...for all of you who think the demise of the MRA4 was not about politics......and before anyone says otherwise, it is clear that CAS did not want to lose the capability; therefore, it is also clear that this was a purely political decision.

Moving on; Ensure RAF Kinloss is linked exclusively with MRA4 so that the Govt can close the base irrespective of the viability of the real estate....in the process, let us not consider if UK PLC could place several FJ Sqns in there.......and as a bonus.......upset the locals and Scotland in general.....then suggest Lossie might (potentially) be next....wait and see if SNP increase their vote in the May elections,.......if they do........it must mean that Scotland is officially a lost cause for the Tories, Labour and LD.......next...... how about a vote on independence so that we can ensure Scotland does not influence the make up of the Govt at Westminster for the forseeable future.......

So who thinks Lossie or Leuchars will survive now........come on......balls on the line?............1 or both bases to close
