Brüggen (ETUR) - 2010

[Copter]

Former RAF Brüggen will be closed (at least I think they mean RAF Brüggen when talking about Niederkrüchten). As far as I know there are no aircraft based there anymore.

The article is in Dutch only. It says that the British goverment will close the armybase in Niederkrüchten within 4 years.

De Britse regering wil in 2019 vijfduizend in Duitsland gelegerde soldaten terughalen. Basis Niederkrüchten, net over de grens bij Roermond, en basis Mönchengladbach worden al binnen vier jaar gesloten. Dat meldt de Aachener Zeitung.

In Mönchengladbach blijft alleen een depot over. Door de sluitingen komen ook veel arbeidsplaatsen van Duitse burgers in gevaar. Bij Niederkrüchten en Mönchengladbach werken 1200 burgers. De Britten hebben de soldaten in Duitsland gelegerd na de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

Well Gutersloh is to be closed to, within some years...

[Le Addeur noir]

Bruggen(Javalin Barracks) was closed to helicopters when 12 Flight disbanded last year.

If the present British Labour government(read communist) remains in power,very few British military bases worldwide will be open by the end of the next parliamentary term.

There is already speculation the RAF will not see it's 100th birthday in 2018.
