It was rumoured that the 'P-8 to Lossiemouth' decision was taken by the previous PM with little to no consideration of the basing options being worked up by MOD. An astute political move, for sure, with the independence fox having been well and truly shot (with barely a whimper from Sturgeon after the Brexit vote). But Mrs May has shown ruthlessness in dispensing with Dave's legacy, so who's to say the stuffing of the Typhoon Force into Lossie won't see the P-8 displaced elsewhere - or at least the options given proper consideration?
