I was there in 1983. I used to get a kick out of all those peace mongering ladies outside the gate. The ones who were killing off the rabbit population around Greenham Common. If you were in security, maybe you heard about that guy who got through and ran his car across the runway, toward a C-5 sitting on the ramp, in Nov of 83? I was in the Control Tower when it happened. That C-5 had just landed, and was delivering the first ground launched cruise missile parts to Greenham Common. This was just a few weeks after the Marine barracks was bombed in Beirut, so we thought his car was full of explosives. It was not, however, but if I remember right, it was a young US Air Force security policeman, who rammed the guy, and stopped him.
I cant remember the exact date I think it was Autumn 1984 but I went parachuting with a number of your guys in Peterborough. It would be funny if you were one of those guys.
