The Lakenheath Alliance for Peace is a coalition of groups that is dedicated to opposing the return of US Nuclear weapons to USAF Lakenheath In Suffolk, UK. It is committed to nonviolent direct action for a peaceful and non-threatening world.
When the Russians complain about “reckless” surveillance and exercises near its borders, they are often talking about aircraft that launched from Suffolk: lakenheathallianceforpeace.org.uk/kaliningrad-...

'RAF' Lakenheath was extensively used for the attack on Iran.
The planes returned with hundreds of markings indicating the weapons used on their attacks.
However, they did come back with some interesting 'nose art':

Borders are where militarism becomes concrete: surveillance, checkpoints, displacement, separation. At #NoWar2026, speakers from Korea, Gaza, and the U.S.-Mexico border will examine what militarized borders do and what #demilitarization could make possible.

'RAF' Mildenhall continues to be busy. Another KC-135 refuelling plane departed for the Middle East yesterday while another returned from Israel.
Note that these planes still seem to be avoiding Austrian airspace.

Lakenheath has been quite in terms of departures of C-17 transport planes, but there has been a lot of activity the last couple of days - 5 arriving on Monday (4 departing the same day) and today another two arrived. They were destined for the Middle East or other bases in Europe
