Graham Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Only for around 6 weeks but the QRA's are moving back to Leuchars while runway work is carried out at Lossie in 2019. Still a shame that they don't do the airshows there anymore. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/local/fife/724419/typhoons-to-make-brief-return-to-former-raf-leuchars-base/ Graham 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unfinished project Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Almost broke my thumb clicking on this only to have my heart broken instead. It was a sad day when the RAF moved out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 While QRA is at Leuchars apparently everything else is going to Kinloss , but from comments made on various websites over the past few years the Army seem to be a little less tolerant of enthusiasts than the RAF are. A newly re-laid runway with a life said to be in the decades was among the rather costly infrastructure work done at Leuchars in preparation for the Typhoons few years there before moving to Lossiemouth where it has all been or is being done again notwithstanding the facilities being provided there for the Poseidon that already existed at Kinloss a few miles away ..... austerity MoD style. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a saying that if money was being spent then that probably meant it was going to close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Oh well, even if it is only temporary it's better than them not coming back at all. As an aside it is interesting to note that the announcement is seen as something positive by the local Press and population which is quite contrary to the normal NIMBY attitude these announcements tend to generate.
