BAe have an interest in keeping the tarmac available so close
Hmm, but at only 1800m or so LDA and with no arrestor cables it's probably not good enough for a lot of the potential divert scenarios e.g. high weight flapless Typhoon. They probs use Valley. And anyway, would BAe pay for it? Seems doubtful. Unlike the RAF, which is happy to pay for keeping full facilities open at both Kinloss and Leuchars for Typhoon diverts after their "closure".
