Yeah, theres a fair amount of runway space, but I agree that little of it would be pressed into to much service. All the RAF and army have ever used over here has been lighter stuff - Gazelles, Lynx, Puma, Chinook, Scout and Sioux on the rotary side, the occasional C130 on the fixed wing side and the Army Air Corps used to fly Beavers as spotter aircraft. There was the old Queens University Air Squadron as well, operating Chipmunks and later Bulldogs, based at Sydenham using the City Airport runways, but relocated to RAF Aldergrove in 1992. In the real world the squadron was disbanded in 1996, but in a Twilight timeline it might still be acive.
