A peace camp has been established at RAF (ha ha its actually USAF) Mildenhall. After Israeli arms fights were diverted from Prestwich they ended up at Mildenhall. A peace camp has been setup just off the A1101 next to the base. Phone 07760 171655 for more details.
The peace camp was setup on Sunday (13/08/06) in the evening. The police seem not too worried but the US military are. Lots of local interest and support but we still need people - particulary weekday nights.
We have a kitchen/ welcome tent and tent for workshops / briefing. Lots of stuff needed including solar power for laptops / mobile phone recharging.
Monday night the USAF we had a Hurcules (C130) looping over the camp and almost touching the trees. There has been a massive increace in activity over the last couple of weeks according to local people.
The base is responsible for air-to-air refuelling for things such as Fairford bombers going to Iraq and the attack on Libya in 1986 as well as recent redition flights (it is home to special operations) and transport of arms to the Iraq theatre.
For more information call 07760161755.

Good luck. I am a local and fully behind what you are doing, both politically and to get the USAF out of this country.
Thank you.
