Ronnie,

Interesting - I was at the 352nd SOG Media Day last June, and the plans were all laid out until end of this year with numbers of airframes up to full scratch! Though like yourself, and this was rumors / spec I have heard on the grapevine around the local area and enthusiasts/spotters, that the 352nd would (liked or pressganged) move to the Med area to be closer to delicate areas

The same above would apply to the tanker force as well....to move down south.

However tbh the move back to Hulbert would not be beneficial as they still have to re deploy over the Atlantic on the way to potential conflicts out east.

I had seen something in the Huntingdon Post about relocation relocation of assets here to Croughton....personally why not move Croughton over this end and bung up the golfballs on Molesworth?

Cheers
