Long-awaited plans to move more than 2,500 troops from Germany to RAF Cosford have been shelved for two years, it emerged today – prompting fears up to 400 workers could lose their jobs at the air base.
The 102 Logistic Brigade and their families had been due to move in 2016. But military bosses said it would not now happen until at least 2018.
Defence minister Bill Rammell said RAF Cosford’s Defence College of Aeronautical Engineering, which provides British armed forces training, would still move to St Athan in Wales from 2014.’
