As by April 2015 the total number of Tornado Squadrons will be 2, I can't see the O.C.U. being quite so busy. Putting the defence blackhole and financial pressure elsewhere aside for moment, is it really prudent to lose yet two more operational squadrons before 2018? I can't see that money is being saved on airfield maintenance either, as both Leuchars and Kinloss, I understand, are to be retained as active to serve as diversions for Lossiemouth? Without which, the nearest military runways would be Linton-on-Ouse and Leeming.
