For the unenlightened, can you shed more details, is this an old group/club ?

its keeping a watchful eye around the bases, having extra eyes around helps usaf & uk bases by keeping a look out for suspicious activity & reporting it
for this we can get offered tour of base & is very cool seeing them up close, learned a lot & met some really friendly u.s airmen,
many thanks to them

try finding & talking to the local police liaison officer, i think it was pc glover but not sure if he still is. he might be able to help

[deerhunter]

He isn't there any more, someone told me at the last Base visit. Not sure as well if they are still running spotter watch.

Hi guys I have a question, I don't come from the Lakenheath/ Mildenhall Area but would love to visit is there anyone I should contact if I should visit just in case I am looked at suspiciously as a stranger or approached and asked what I am doing here?

Also is there a national scheme like this for other Airfields in the country as all I want to do is watch Aircraft without rousing locals suspicions?
