RAF Brampton Wyton Henlow is a former Royal Air Force unit covering 3 distinct sites in Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. The three sites, separately known as RAF Brampton, RAF Wyton and RAF Henlow, house a number of flying training, intelligence, security and other RAF support organisations. On 2 April 2012 the unit was disbanded with RAF Brampton being renamed Brampton Camp RAF Wyton.
History
The three RAF stations were brought together under the one umbrella in 2001. RAF Stanbridge was brought into the agreement too, but was not formally noted in the tri-base name.[1] At that time, RAF Brampton Wyton Henlow represented the largest RAF base in terms of real estate and personnel.[2]
