17 January 2004
Assemble at 12pm Northwood tube
Or 11am Baker St exit of Baker St tube (for those who want to meet up in London)

Since 1936 – the formation of RAF Coastal Command at Northwood – a bloody thread can be identified from the Northwood Headquarters in Sandy Lane to almost all UK military interventions overseas: Part of the WWII command structure, the RAF contingent in the Korean War, the Falklands, so-called peace-keeping in the Balkans and in Africa (Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Congo/Zaire, ...), and most recently Afghanistan and Iraq. Today, the different headquarters at Northwood – regional NATO HQs and the UK Permanent Joint Forces HQ – are already planning for the next wars – Iran? North Korea? Somalia? Sudan? Given the importance of Northwood, it is very likely that it will also be a part of the developing EU military structure, commanding future EU interventions abroad.

Join us on 17 January: As part of the national Reclaim The Bases weekend of action at military bases we will present a bloody history of Northwood Military HQ. Theatrical protests around Northwood HQ will represent (some of) the military interventions commanded from strategically important military base. Your creativity is welcome!
