Here are my selection of a great base tour today. Special thanks to Micheal for organizing and to the public affairs for looking after us for the day.

Nice post, judging by some of those shots you got into the control tower, looks like you had a super trip.

Great photos; it was a very good tour and well done to Michael for organising it and for the base to lay on such a great day for us!

Yes we did get in the tower and was quiet lucky as they were the last 2 of the day to land.

Love the U-boat

Thanks for posting

Top day Love every moment of it. As you say Adam, they looked after us so well. And in the current climate of security, hadn't expected that kind of access

Nice photos. I was on a base tour a couple of years ago, but came away with few photos. Air Traffic Control photos? No - it's all "classified". Parked aircraft photos? No - they're "classified", e.t.c.
I'm not complaining - the tour was great, even without many photo opportunities.

Was a great day, hope to see the photos the Tour team took soon.

Lakenheath just posted a couple of photos from the visit on their Facebook page.

Cheers for the heads up

Hopefully some more will appear soon, they took quite a few.

Can anyone remember the tour guides name?

I believe it was first airman Clingerman.
