Please note we have taken legal advice and do not plan to attend court today - it is simply a civil matter and we will be getting on with the main business of rebuilding the camp and observing the base.

Whilst the camp has refuge at the Axe and Compass for the short term it needs an increase in support if it is going to continue. The landlady has agreed to the camp being in the pub garden for a couple of weeks. We are continuing to look for a new longer term site.

So far too much energy has gone into maintaining the camp itself and not enough into observing the base and the buildup for war.

Over the past ten days there have been large numbers of portacabins going onto the site - for either accommodation or offices. Defenses have been reinforced by the addition of razor wire as a second barrier just inside the main fences (work ongoing).

We have just received reports that the US has started to deploy B-52 and about to deploy B-2 bombers... bound for Diego Garcia and Britian (which means Fairford).

If you can help out at the camp or want to come over for a pint and a it of plane spotting please visit www.gwi.org.uk for contact numbers and camp site details.

Thanx
