It may be central but it's tiny compared to Lyneham and in no way could accommodate the Army from Aborfield and the Navy from Sultan on top of what is there already.
It was all going to move to St. Athan anyway so now it is just moving to Lyneham instead. Hardly a waste of money as the closure of Gosport and Arborfield will save a considerable amount.
Cosford is destines to be an Army base with units returning from Germany so it will be developed, after a fashion.
I wonder if the airfield will remain in use for the UAS/AEF?
