ROYAL AIR FORCE MILDENHALL, England -- RAF Mildenhall has a historic past filled with strong links to the local community and businesses. One of these ties is to the Bird in Hand pub, which has welcomed Airmen and families across generations.
Savills, the agents acting for Greene King, listed a portion of land adjacent to RAF Mildenhall for sale. When the Ministry of Defence became aware of this, they sought to purchase the land, to bolster Royal Air Force Mildenhall base defense, gain additional space to accommodate security measures, and create more space around this entry and exit gate.
There will be no firm plans on any future development until a full survey and assessment of the property and land is undertaken. However, the addition of fencing around the area will increase security, as it will support shared security interests at the exit to RAF Mildenhall.
