RAF Lakenheath could close? EUCOM downsize

MtM,

My thoughts exactly. Given the size of Fairford I think it is too useful to close - especially if the USAF wants to rationalise elsewhere. So if you had to close anything, then moving remaining assets into Fairford makes sense.

Given what they do at Molesworth and Menwith Hill, I can't see them closing anytime soon as it would be too difficult to relocate anywhere else without an eye watering bill. So sadly as it seems, it does rather leave Lakenheath in the firing line, especially if they are getting rid of some if the 15s
