		The five front-running RAF bases to be one of two homes for the RAF's new Joint Combat Aircraft (JCA) are RAF Leeming, RAF Cottesmore, RAF Marham, RAF Lossiemouth and RAF St Mawgan.
		The first phase of the basing study has concluded that RAF Leeming, which had not previously been considered, may be a suitable option and it will therefore be considered along with the other bases in the second phase of work which will report later in the year.
		The first phase has also concluded that RAF Kinloss, RAF Wittering and RNAS Yeovilton are less likely to be future JCA bases; primarily because of environmental issues at Wittering and Kinloss and the length of the runways at Yeovilton and Kinloss.

		RAF Newton closed in 1996, but the airfield and much of the technical site have been retained as an enclave and continue to support some Defence activity, principally flying training.
		The RAF Marham option for the RAFAT was subsequently foreclosed after it was earmarked for Tornado squadrons withdrawing from Germany.
		A decision was taken in 1998 that RAF Scampton would have to be retained in some capacity to support RAFAT practice and it is recognised that RAF Cranwell has never been ideally suited to the needs of the Team.
