RAF Brampton was a non-flying Royal Air Force installation near Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, England.
The camp was closed at the end of 2013 and all assets were transferred to a new JFIG Pathfinder building at RAF Wyton.
In 1942, the United States Army Air Force First Bomb Wing Headquarters was established on the site and it was used to billet American airmen.
Staff were moved to empty families' quarters on the base and contingencies were implemented;[14] when Air Marshal Sir John Sutton was appointed Commander in January 1986, he was faced with a burnt out HQ which would eventually cost £10 million to fix.
However, in 2009, an MoD review decided that Brampton was surplus to requirements[17] because a new intelligence centre (DIFC) would be built at nearby RAF Wyton.
[19] In March 2012, the gate guardian – a McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II aircraft with tail number XT914 – was removed from RAF Brampton and transported to Wattisham airfield in Suffolk.
[24] Military housing was kept on the site for a further three years with a gradual rundown until all staff were transferred to RAF Wyton.
Support to keep the theatre had come from Joanna Lumley and Ian McKellen, but along with other non-listed buildings on the base, it was demolished.
[30] RAF Henlow is used by 616 Volunteer Gliding Squadron flying the Grob Vigilant and leased out as a general aviation airfield.
