On AIX there is a topic regarding scapampton and the possibility of the BBMF and the reds to move in together.

Seeing as conningsby is full of typhoons and will be for some time it would make sense for the BBMF to go to a quiter location along with the reds

Also TVOC are looking for a opperating base as brunti is not ideal to opperate her from and the runways heavily used for car testing and could be in a better state.

So why not bring all 3 together at scampton?

Its a fantastic idea and makes perfect sense, but I cant see it happening. It has been talked about time and time again. I had hoped (and still do hope) that the recent work being carried out on hangar 2 at Scampton was to house either the BBMF or the Vulcan, but given that only a few weeks ago we were being told that Scampton will close, I dont think we’re like to see any u turn in the near future… I think we’ll need a change at the top before that happens!
