Welcome from Wootton Bassett - near RAF Lyneham. Couple of miles from Burderop.

Here for a good time, not along time

All those bases are 'dead' now...  Only ones around now are Lakenheath and Croughton that I remember vaguely...  Went to 7th grade, briefly, at Lakenheath back in 1968.  We were bussed from Sculthorpe as they were still opening that base back up as an annex of Lakenheath (48th wing).

Lakenheath & Mildenhall are still in use by USAFE.
To my knowledge the only other active US base in the UK is Menwith Hill (Early Warning & SatComms)

Croughton is still there and operational...

It's a communications center for us (US).  Always has been.  I can remember that it had lots of antennas...  I think it also housed the high school for Heyford at one time or it may have been the other way around...
