Raf Alconbury

Royal Air Force Alconbury or more simply RAF Alconbury is an active Royal Air Force station in Huntingdon, England. The airfield is in the civil parish of The Stukeleys, close to the villages of Great Stukeley, Little Stukeley, and Alconbury. Opened in 1938, it is a non-flying facility, under the control of the United States Air Force. It is one of three RAF stations in Cambridgeshire used by the United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa (USAFE-AFAFRICA). Alconbury, RAF Molesworth, and RAF Upwood make up the "Tri-Base Area", because of their geographic proximity and interdependency. Except for a period of inactivity between 1945 and 1951, the station has been used continuously. RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth are the last Second World War–era Eighth Air Force bases in Britain that are still used and controlled by the United States Air Force. On 8 January 2015, it was announced that the US Air Force would be withdrawn from RAF Alconbury, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Molesworth.
