I'd love to think there's something in this. But while no decision may yet have been made about the long term future of the airshow, I can't see there being the commitment or resources available in future to run an event that clearly involves a huge amount of work from a lot of people, before, during and afterwards. And while the "Lossiemouth Airshow" has a certain ring to it, its distance from most main centres of population suggest that Lossie is unlikely to be sufficiently accessible to attract the wider public for a grand day out...
There is a precedent Kluseau, Colerne and Church Fenton both retain active airfields if only for the local UAS's and so on. Then there were Machrahanish and Stornoway.

From an airshow point of view, there is Biggin Hill which while in civilian hands still reverted back to temporary control of the R.A.F. each September for the annual Battle of Britain Display, from 1958 to 1976, inclusive.

Anything is possible, but we'll know soon enough what's what!
