Well Benwaters never made me laugh, well if its Bentwaters its Bentwaters but looked like Alconbury to me. Still I suppose an RAF station looks like an RAF station!
Bentwaters it is, the Ironic thing is Canberra, in a sense they do look alike , they are both closed, a sad fact of the end of the cold war, or poor judgement?
Or the fact that Britain has too many military airfields?? Canada has two fighter/fast jet bases and is a country far far bigger than the UK.
When in past history has Canada been threatened by any two bit tinpot dictator? Recent cutbacks have gone tooooo deep too quickly and theres a defence review still to come!!!
1812 or Uboats sinking shipping in the St Lawrence maybe? Lets hope that the defence reviews do not go to the extremes Canada went to when it mergred the 3 arms into one "military"
There was some logic behind Canadas merger, personally if it was up to me I would disband the Paras and give the job to the rocks. Also get rid of FAA and AAC.
As for the airfield, well belfast hangars date it a bit so Ill take a swag at Eastchurch.
