Do you not think the Scampton mention is possibly to calm down the howls of protest from Lincoln?

It would still be a security nightmare, and even more trouble to staff.

The civvy house owners on site may not be keen either
Well I'm somewhat reassured and call me a pain in the but spotter, but I would like to trust the official public statement, and do. They do say that there are 'significant commercial, infrastructure and legal issues' to address first of all, which hopefully won't prove to be insurmountable, although it's not the most reassuring thing to say. However, one imagines that they have already investigated the matter sufficiently to conclude its worth making such an announcement, the same applies, I imagine to other factors such as; local housing and the ability to staff the event.

Then again Camelspyyder, I don't imagine you'd be keen for it to go ahead.

Aren't you likely to be posted somewhere else by 2017 anyway?
