Ref the OP's question:
I'm not in the know in any way but as the RAF has recently had it's MOB's cut then logic would dictate that RN/AAC will suffer similar cuts.
And if you look at the likely future size of AAC (~30 Wildcat and ~60 Apache) then consolidation of MOB's seems more probable than possible.
Feel sure the beancounters are mulling all "options" over as we speak
