Typhoons back to Leuchars

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.

There used to be a saying that if money was being spent then that probably meant it was going to close!

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.
