Raf Bampton Castle

Royal Air Force Bampton Castle or more simply RAF Bampton Castle is a former non-flying Royal Air Force station in Oxfordshire. The base was established by the Royal Signals Regiment in 1939 and handed over to the RAF in 1969. It was the home of No. 2 and No. 81 Signal Units, which dealt with High Frequency radio communications. Its day-to-day operations were overseen (parented in RAF speak) by RAF Brize Norton due to the larger base's proximity to Bampton Castle and that Brize was the home of No. 38 Group Tactical Communications Wing (and successors until 2006). The site closed progressively between 2004 and 2006 when the High Frequency communications systems used by the RAF were outsourced to a private company. The site is now a business centre and all of the antennas have been removed.
