Britain's What's On Event Guide
Decontamination Suite, Greenham Air Base
Heritage Open Day: A rare opportunity to gain access to the Decontamination Suite that formed part of the Cold War US Airbase at Greenham Common with guided tours through the facility explaining the history of the building. Greenham Common was active as a US Army Air Force and US Air Force airfield for various periods from WWII onwards, most famously during the Cold War. Between 1982 - 1991, it was home to the US Air Force 501st Tactical Missile Wing and operated 96 cruise missiles. It was the site for the famous Greenham women's peace protests.
Few buildings remain from this period. Greenham Control Tower is the only building now open to the public as a visitor centre.
