My dispersal predictions:
Military airfields:
Boscombe down
Yeovilton
Leuchars
Civilian airports:
Belfast International
East Midlands

Marham is closed this weekend, there's two runway opening windows on the 31st.

To quote the article: 'No civilian airfields have yet been identified, and larger airports such as Heathrow and Glasgow would be unlikely locations, but smaller sites such as Teesside, Southend and Liverpool could be viable.'

From here, although published Dec 20:
https://www.theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?i ... 2.124111.h
The AGILE STANCE Campaign Plan is a multi-year programme designed to test and develop a responsive and agile UK Strategic Base. It will be managed and operated as a capability and demonstrate elements of UK Whole Force mobilisation.
The initial exercise in the campaign, AGILE LAUNCH, will be conducted in autumn 2021. This had been previously planned for Autumn 2020 but was delayed owing to the impact of COVID 19.
Future major exercises are planned for 2022 (AGILE POSTURE) and 2024 (AGILE DEFENDER) which will increase in scale and complexity..

Not forgetting Prestwick which has an MOD base on site used as a FOB (HMS Gannet). Would seem a likely choice for the west coast of Scotland/central belt area.

A few Tiffies at Old warden would do just fine.

Liverpool would be a good shout, and Hawarden could be useful for helicopters?

St Mawgan and Stornoway are my hunch like the old days.
