Sitting on the fence
The afternoon was enlivened by the exploits of one of our number who climbed the perimeter fence in her bare feet despite the barbed wire and perched on the top for some time before jumping down into the base and being led away by the MOD.
More serious info about the base and its function should arrive here shortly. In the meantime, I suggest you check last year’s Oxford Indymedia report which has a lot of background material on the base:
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2003/10/278728.html. Or for an absolutely stunning website, with all the material you could possibly want on missile defence, military bases, ‘star wars’ etc, go to Yorkshire CND’s site at:
