It was never going to happen, once the decision had been made that was it, far too many political reputations at stake you see.
Will it turn out to be the best idea since sliced bread? Who knows, personally I doubt it, well not for about 10 maybe 15 years anyway and even then only because the current Lyne/Brize folks will have moved through the system and memories begin to fade. But what do I know, being an ex Squaddie.
Thing is, if they really wanted save money why didn’t they just shut both Brize And Lyneham and move the whole shooting match to Fairford?
Thinking on it though, the way things are going with all the cuts etc at the moment it won't be long before we will be able to get the whole tri-service thing into Keevil, having first dug a pond for the navy's remaining bosun dinghy to bob about in of course....
Sad really, not what we joined up for or what so many of our friends made sacrifices for either
It'll end in tears one day, be like 1938/9 all over again.
