Thumbs up

simfly, the yanks did indeed use RAF Machrihanish for a variety of covert black operations in the 70's/80's, indeed part of the airfield is still owned by the US Navy Seals, who sometimes visit in the dead of night in C130's with no lights!

Its fairly common knowledge that the Stealth aircraft visited MAC at times during its development, as for Aurora, who knows!
