RAF Upper Heyford was a Royal Air Force station located in Oxfordshire, England. It was first established in 1918 and played a significant role during both World War II and the Cold War. During the Second World War, it served primarily as a training and operational base for bomber and reconnaissance units. In the post-war era, RAF Upper Heyford became a key United States Air Force base, hosting Strategic Air Command and later Tactical Air Command units until its closure in 1994. The site is remembered for its pivotal contribution to NATO air operations and its long-standing Anglo-American partnership.
