Surely it would have been more relevant to show that the MOD is making productive uses out of airfields that are no longer required. Lyneham becoming an academy, Cottesmore becoming a garrison, even Kinloss and Leuchars being used as barracks. St Athan houses Special Forces, 14 Signal Regiment is headed there and of course Mr Dickinson is providing jobs there.
Cardington & Stenigot are hardly former core sites of the RAF. Predannack was/is RN, no?
