Just because a base, barracks or port is upgraded it doesn't mean that some politician can't change the plans either later that day, week, month or year.Phoon wrote:In addition Waddington is undergoing a massive upgrade - The runway is being improved, strengthened and lengthened, hangars are being refurbished (including an add on for tall tails to the old 51 sdn hangar) and other works. Waddington is hardly busy so why would all this work be done for existing levels of operations?
Using phoon's logic or lack thereof then Waddo is going to be perfect for the army. Maybe they'll move the reds from Scampton then the A15 can be straightened out and returned to the way it was when those pesky Romans built it.
Millions were spent on Kinloss in preparation for MRA4. Money that's not been wasted because the army is not allowed to dig it up meaning that when HMG decides to get the P8 they have crews from seed corn and a base that is ready to take them.
