    Yes but people can be moved about. Plus the costs of keeping open the civilian side of things can out way the cost of keeping just a few personnel. As for hangar size, yes there are proposals to build a hangar for C17 work but to allow civil onto a USAF airbase would just not be practical to the USAF Yes ATA tristars etc do some movements for them but its not that simple.

    I have seen a proposal that includes new hangars for the C130 and C17, office accomadation etc As MA are on the verge of winning the 25 year whole live support for the RAf C130 and various other military contracts there will be more then enough work to go round without civil, IMHO.

    My father worked for Airwork in the Oman in the late 70s. He was one of the men that were shot while having a BBQ on the beach in 1978.

    Yes Mildenhall is the favorite. As for civil aircraft being there well the answer would be NO civil work only foriegn airforces ie SAF etc.

    Only hangars for C130 and C17 would be built.

    thanks

    Hi all

    Interesting thread on 33. I have just spoken to someone in the office who served on the SQD and can confirm the reason behind celebrating the Crete saga. The sad part of this is the instruction given by Hitler that all aircraft engineers must be shot. Reason being it only took 20-30 hours to train a pilot for combat but 100`s of hours to train an engineer. Remove the engineer and you remove the power to fly.

    thanks

    Training

    I have got to say they were mostly Nigerian pilots.

    Hands up who got lost on their first solo. Many a time we saw the QFI having to chase after you young pilots.
