Limited facilities for detachments - not based - as stated in the article.

Change out of £60M after paying for extra pan space wouldn’t pay for the bowling alley....

There's plenty space at a decent-sized airfield near Lossie, now rather quiet since the Nimrods and the incumbent VGS were flung on the scrapheap, now host only to a couple of Cessnas and a few Pongos.

Might not need to spend 60 million quid either.

Too common sense of course for the Ministry Of Dunces. :rolleyes:

Has anyone told wee Krankie the Yankees are coming? Lossie could be following Faslane into SBA status in a foreign land.

TelsBoy. I’m afraid you are showing a lack of understanding about P-8A operations.

The Wee Krankie's got other matters causing a distraction at present, the allegations being made against Fred Flintstone for one!
