This was put to bed some years back after Project Belvedere was shut down when looking at RAF Lyneham as a solution. Costs were exorbitant to relocate all units and therefore Benson and Odiham remained. As suggested, with Puma/Chinook & OCU at Benson and Chinook with the addition of Mk6 now delivered to Odiham, I can't see any changes for the foreseeable future. Odiham is also having investment made in new accommodation blocks and a Mk6 training centre with simulators. Not up to speed with Middle Wallop however and maybe somebody can update!
