First Airseeker Ops in UK..
will be from RAF Mildenhall, alongside the USAF, as it appears the Waddington runway will be closed for repairs.
One of the problems we had in planning ops in the '70s and '80s from the UK was the lack of long runways at RAF bases. It appears only Marham, Brize and Fairford have 10000+ ft runway lengths. A serious lack that should be been identified and corrected decades ago. I'm sure this is one reason Brize is the UK base for deployed B-52s.
