My son was stationed 3 years near Cambridge at RAF Mildenhall with US NAVY. He liked it there.

Supposedly warminster. I should be there June to august. If they authorize  (authorise for you northumbrians) a rental, I should be all over that place. Trip still in the works, but it is looking stronger than it was a month ago.

Dogdirt, I'm jealous!

Our son was stationed at RAF Lakenheath, we visited  twice and loved it.

I also endorse a Road Trip to RAF Conningsby to see the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Visitor's Center, then dash on over to "The Petwood Hotel" at Woodhall Spa and have a Pint at the the Squadron 617 Bar (See: https://www.petwood.co.uk/about/history) for more details.   We stayed there a couple days at The Petwood and it was fun!  (Will also educate about the 'Lancstukas'  :-)  )

Also having a couple Pints at The Eagle Pub in Cambridge is a worthwhile experience.

Waay too many things to visit and see in the UK, but I found those to be particularly rewarding! 

Enjoy the trip, hope you get to link up with a few fellow AH III folks while you are there!
