Potentially Flooded Airfields

Surely now is the time to get ahead of the game! If we reopen Binbrook, concentrate all AT (and every other aircraft that the RAF will have by 2020) into Waddington, then airfield operating costs will be minimalized and Binbrook can be the diversion - albeit with a substantial runway extension and more parking. Problem solved - no danger of flooding - immense cost savings - RAF confined to Lincolnshire.
Must go now - sandals getting wet and more trees to hug.
