Why is the army stating that it intends using the runway itself for parking vehicles - shirley there must be acres of other hard standing around the airfield which they could use for this purpose? Sounds like they're just being awkward. Or maybe they are just not conversant with the basics of Feng Shui - I mean, cluttering the middle of the space, how gauche.
At (ex) Abingdon they seem to manage just fine with the apron and taxiways around the old hangars - the runway is semi-operational too, as long as whatever lands on it doesn't weigh too much or can kiss the tarmac from a hover.
