I was thinking of all the space on hangar roofs and barrack blocks that could be used for solar.
So the MOD wouldn't have to moan about "energy saving".

My earlier post about inadequate infrastructure on flightlines that run off diesel generators rather than a mains supply, is a typical example of thinking about short term costs rather than long term savings. I've always wondered how much does it cost to run diesel generators every day for x years because they don't want to modernize the infrastructure?

Another example is using bowser trucks to drive the avtur to aircraft rather than using underground pipes for refueling
