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.

Regards
