The Ministry of Defence does not hold all of this information.

In addition to the RAF bases occupied by United States Visiting Forces in the UK, the US military routinely uses or transits through other UK military and civilian airports as well as our overseas military bases, for operational, training or transitory purposes. This includes US military aircraft as well as military personnel travelling via civilian means using appropriate NATO travel documentation. This is also a testament to the depth of our defence partnership with the United States.
