No room at Brize, they'll have to move the Hercs back to the base nobody is allowed to mention if they wanted MP here.

For me, a US airframe requires a hybrid US supply chain to support it - which rather limits the locations available.

They could squeeze 4-6 frames in easy mate, I've seen the parking matrixes for armed and unarmed aircraft. Plus they won't be there often, they'll be on Ops...DT_Xtremez_31:

Any move to Brize wouldn't be permanent anyway, more likely an interim stopgap before going to Waddo.

20 more A400's to cram in yet or whatever it is

Its going to be Waddo for any new P8's...end of.
