I have also heard (rumour) that the system is looking at rationalising the SH/AH bases again. When you consider the cost of land and a £1B target, the sale of Benson/Odiham/Wattisham/Middle Wallop and consolidating in Boscombe and Yeovilton (SH and AH) respectively would be easily achieved!

How's it going across there?
Nothing like putting all your eggs in one basket to keep the CI & Sy lot up all night worrying. So once we've been rationalised, just how easy would it be to stop the RAF from being effective? A rhetorical question, but a concerning one.
