Lyneham and REME

The REME move is too far gone to stop it. The forward elements are already there taking over buildings and providing initial capability for the studes starting their revised courses. The first courses stood up the begining of this month.
Bordon is falling apart, it's had no proper care and maintenance to the buildings for decades. Arborfield is a little better, but still would need a lot of money to bring it up to a decent standard.
The plan to move Sultan has fallen on it's backside because the Navy have no desire to intergrate their training with the other two services. Collingwood's been a case study for that for years.
As for moving Cosford, How do you move the RAF's aircraft tech training on to an airfield that's got no hangar space as it's already full of tanks and the pan and runways being used for recovery training?
