I think it could be argued despite this that the RAF has lost far too much real estate over the years. FB |

Why do they need so may bases when the number of aircraft and people has plummeted?
A lot of the estate is still based on fighting WW2 |

All very well, but what about the civilian infrastructure that is being placed in harm's way? Certain "others" might decide that obliterating the main terminal is justified because there are "enemy forces" There.
On the plus side, I suppose it would at least show the public that there is an Air Force. |

Most Civvy airfields are WWII RAF airfields using the same runways!

As mentioned by Herod: "On the plus side, I suppose it would at least show the public that there is an Air Force".
I was shocked to discover our RAF is still a 24/7 operation. Last night Akro towers was left thrumming by the sound of an A400 Grizzly heading west from Leeming followed shortly by a Wokka heading north. All this military action on a Sunday night, a Bank Holiday Sunday at that! |
