Maybe

I worked in MOD through Tony's SDR in '97. Middle Wallop was due to close then and disperse its functions to other bases (Topcliffe, Wattisham, Dishforth and Shawbury spring to mind but I can't be sure, memory fades). However, Army are past masters at keeping their historic turf. So they rushed on with WAH 64 simulator at MW and hey presto! Too expensive to move it, so keep MW open. Handily, the Museum of Army Aviation is right next door and another option for AAC pers to move around the various Army units/HQ around SPTA whilst staying in same house (and probably drawing BSA then CEA too).

So, MW closing through SDSR/PR12......don't hold your breath.
