Boeing,
i imagine the RAF don’t give a hoot about HHA, and certainly can’t see them being accommodated at what will be a busy and sensitive Waddington. Given that most of their work seems to be either for QQ or the RN, perhaps they may find a sponsor prepared to cut them a deal at Yeovilton, Culdrose or Boscombe. There have been suggestions they do not pay the full market rate at Scampton. Perhaps they could buy it?

Spot on! QQ (for ETPS) and MBDA (for seeker head trials) is pretty much their sum total in 2020 so nothing directly contracted with MOD. Regards payment for use of Scampton, apparently MOD has no record of any transactions for the use of its facilities.

That would seem the most practical place to base them at one of the RN bases if most of their work is done down there!
