Witness to B52s arriving at USAF Fairford


A small group of concerned peace campaigners have been maintaining a Peace Camp at Kempsford village, and a round the clock witness outside USAF Fairford Gate 10. Do please come and join us.

There have been a couple of arrests, most notably Lindis Percy from CAAB who sat peacefully under the wing of one of these death machines to protest against the undemocratic use of our beautiful Gloucester countryside to launch these horrendous warplanes and their lethal payload of depleted uranium weapons of mass destruction.

There is a friendly Peace camp established about a 5min walk away in the local pub car park. People are needed there to cook, make hot drinks and pitch tents for the witnesses at Gate 10.

Even if you can't spend a whole night with us, please bring a banner for the fence and help re-inforce the peace movement's presence. Yesterday we were outnumbered approx 3-1 by plane spotters and the press. We desperately need more witnesses. Please bring warm clothes, all your friends and a friendly smile.
