Hi Skunkers, For information. According to the 1995 Royal Air Force Yearbook RAF Macrihanish, long time rumoured base for SR71 and 'other' operations has been reduced to 'Enhanced Care and Maintenance' status. What the meaning of the term 'enhanced' here is I am not sure. According to the Yearbook RAF Honnington ceased to be a regular flying base on 1 February 1994. On Saturday night, late evening, 1 April 1995 Honnington was once again apparently active. Approach lights etc. etc. were all blazing. No traffic was seen (or heard) however. I was just passing through and could not wait around. Honnington is definitely not a secluded airfield and perhaps this was in conjunction with some exercise similar to the use of RAF Bentwaters last year.
