The RAF moving out of Leuchars vice Lossie was always wrong for sooo many reasons:
1. To keep on thread, Leuchars is better for the airshow.
2. Leuchars is nearer more diversions that FJs need for low fuel on the ground unless you keep KIS's runway open at many ££££££s..
3. It is near civilisation (ie. Edinburgh)
4. It is the right side of the Grampians.
5. The golf is better.
6. The army could 'blob up' in LOS/KIS.
7. People from South of the border don't mind a posting to Leuchars but a further 3 hours up the A9 can be a marriage killer or career shortener (i.e. they leave). That said, some odd-balls like the isolation!
Still, another crap decision made, another good base going to the other services (just like Brawdy, Chivenor, Cottesmore, Abingdon, Andover,
). It's done now...
