ISTR being told by someone that Greenham was something of a red herring, and that the USAF was quietly shipping far more interesting things into Molesworth via Alconbury.

There is some evidence in the public domain that Molesworth was a nuclear weapons store, but this may have been more akin to RAF Faldingworth and RAF Barnham than a Cruise Missile Site.
Molesworth was the second Cruise site, a few years behind Greenham and modelled on Greenham. Now it is (well, it was a year or three back) where all surplus USAF kit in the UK was disposed of direct to the public.

I agree with ranger. As a young LAC, it was quite an eye opener to see a few lesbians going at it hammer and tongues directly in front of you. Even through the binos . The regulars there were mainly ok, it was the bored weekenders who were the pains in the arse.
