Army and RAF in row over future of air bases
The report before them had an "option A" recommending that RAF Lossiemouth in Moray remains as an air base, while RAF Leuchars in Fife becomes an army base.
But it has emerged that the report also has other options and a decision has been delayed partly because of disagreements between the RAF and army.
According to an MoD source, the air force is trying to keep RAF Leuchars as a base too, but the army is resisting the option of going to Moray to be stationed in RAF Kinloss, which has been closed with the cancellation of the replacement Nimrod.
