You will probably need a clearance from the Pentagon, despite having a RAF Station Commander (token) they operate to US PPR rules. I know someone who did land there in a precautionary WX diversion, was met by 35 vehicles and 17 Bird Colonels (full Emergency procedure) then arrested as an unauthorised alien.
