Brize Norton has, from the Station Commander down, been filled with ex Lynham personnel in key positions for the last 2 years. It was done (i am told) to help smooth the path for Lyneham to be 'absorbed' as much as possible with their 'own' looking after them.
It was always going to be a nightmare to sort out, but if there are any sticks to be thrown, any accusation of 'Brize personnel seeing them off', is not one of them.
