Slightly off topic

Rumour has it that Boeing has made the RAF a very sensible offer which it will no doubt refuse to save embarassment, i.e. buy/lease about 15 C17's and they (Boeing) will buy all the C130J's off us. Therefore allowing the closure of a certain airbase in Wiltshire whilst building up the airbase in Oxon.

Maybe the Army would then want Lyneham for the Apache as it needs to have much better infrastructure than they have at Middle Wallop, i.e , some concrete for a start!!! Much better infrastructure being purely relative of course!

All makes total sense really so its bound not to happen.

Somebody give me a slap around the face I need to come back to the real world!!

There would not be room at The Inn at Carterton would there for that many wide bodies?

Make more sense to put Apache at Wattisham and all the c17s at Wooton B....

wot am I missing?

The implications for that little deal to get various persons asses out of the fire do not bear thinking about. Stand by your beds - P45s on parade!

I hate to intrude in a truckie/tanker thread, but I hope you're not proposing the closure of MW!! Can't do that; it's where the wegimental museum is don't yer know old chep!

Also the home of DAAvn, a curiously single-service organisation amidst the purple of JHC. Oh all right, close it then .......
