UK Maritime Patrol Aircraft - An Urgent Requirement

JTEPS have kept Leeming up their sleeve for a while now. I took part in the first site survey to assess whether it could be used for JW MPA Ops in 2012 because LEU and LOS were not available. My understanding is that Leeming is being used for this JW for exactly that reason - if I recall, it was OK for short term ops, but would need a lot of work to make it a permanent base.
