The B-1s heading to Norway were likely destined for here originally

You never know - one might turn up for an overnight or on a cheeky diversion. B+

That would cause mayhem be nice if they did as we are allowed out to “exercise”

Maybe not so many bomber deployments to Fairford in future:

I reckon they'll just be adding to the current locations, not so much choosing some over others. We'll see i guess..

Having read the article i think that the annual number of Bomber Task Forces will increase (as fairford's PR team said last year 4-5 a year). Just means more airfields will be used for the Bomber Task Forces to allow for the increase in operations and to give some other bases such as fairford some peace for at least a few months in between deployments. I think in the coming years we will begin to see a nearly permanent bomber presence in Europe and Asia based off of short temporary Bomber Task Forces, as one squadron ends there BTF another deploys out etc all be it to potentially another location.
