RAF Stafford was a non-flying Royal Air Force station in Stafford Staffordshire, England.
Originally home to No 16 Maintenance Unit as an Equipment Supply Depot, this part of the station is now run by the Defence Logistics Organisation. No 2 Mechanical Transport Squadron, part of Stafford based 85 ELW, provides transport assistance for unit moves and deployments. Also at Stafford is the Tactical Supply Wing (TSW), which operates mobile fuel handling facilities for helicopters deployed in the field.
In April 2004 it was announced that units from RAF Stafford will be moved to RAF Wittering, effectively closing the base. However, in 2005, it emerged that the Army was considering using the base for the newly reformed 22 Signal Regiment, TSW still remain at Stafford. RAF Stafford officially ceased to be an RAF station on 31 March to become MoD Stafford in 2006.
