777ham are USAF still at Lakenheath and Mildenhall? I thought they left and the airbases were closed down years ago? It was great up there in the 80s with all the heavy American stuff there !!

No nothing.

No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

No tackiness.

Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

Innit?

@bda,

RAF Mildenhall, which is home to 3,100 serving US Air Force (USAF) men and women, is due to be vacated from 2024, marking the end of the base’s UK-US ties since after the Second World War.

On the other hand, RAF Lakenheath is seeing £160million of infrastructure investment, including a flight simulator facility, a maintenance unit and new hangers and storage facilities, to support the new US Air Force F-35A jets that are due to arrive from November 2021.

It is this boost that will bring opportunities for the whole area, said council leader James Waters, in the face of the impending drawdown at RAF Mildenhall, home to the 100th Air Refuelling Wing.

Mr Waters, leader of Forest Heath District Council, said: “The expansion of RAF Lakenheath, which is starting to roll out now, presents huge opportunities for our local communities and our local businesses with £160m from the United States Department of Defense going into the site itself while we believe the F-35 Programme will bring around £1billion of investment and opportunities over the next five years supporting local businesses, jobs and skills.

@bobcat didn’t see any nice American muscle cars. Seem to drive around in Honda’s and big pickups. Maybe the nice stuff comes out at the weekend?

As you mentioned, they will be around for a while before closing. The investment in Lakenheath is a good thing for the local community.

@71-bda I too loved the big air shows that were held at Mildenhall in the 80’s!

I worked at RAF Greenham Common in the 1980s helping to build the infrastructure. The air-shows there were epic and resulted in all construction work being halted so we got the deck chairs out to watch the aircraft coming and going. One of the first occasion the Blackbird was put on public display. And the superb British designed and built Harriers blew me away – literally! Very happy days, indeed.

[bobcat]

@RS77, heady days indeed. Remember the news at the time, and of course the protesters.
