UK in Twilight War

I wasn't aware of Ryanairs interest in Langford, and I just looked at it on googlemaps, and I have to say I didn't realise the runways etc were either so big or so well maintained - I can definitely see it being brought into use as an airfield in T2K.

George Best/City Airport has been a fairly major facility for years - I can remember a weather recon Canberra flying from it when I was wee, and I think they assembled and serviced F86 Sabres there when the RAF was operating them. I know they flew Buccaneers in and out of there for maintenance as well - my brother can remember one of them crashing in 1972 and one of the ejecting crew landed in the park at the bottom of my mum and dads street. I reckon it could well be in use as an airbase in T2K as well.

Keep up the good work

I'm from Dublin.

There seems to be a lot of spare air capacity in Northern Ireland, but how much of it would be used in T2K. RAF and British military usage seems to be restricted to helicopters and the odd fixed wing transport or recon aircraft.
