Between the 31st May and June 3rd 1983, one of the largest ever set piece civil disobedience demonstrations took place here. This was then home to six F1-11 planes armed with live nuclear weapon always on standby in what was called the Quick Response Area. The airbase has since been mothballed, but with the Doomsday Clock advancing to 90 seconds to midnight, peace and protest will be commemorated and celebrated on June 2nd and 3rd through a number of activities planned by former peace campers and supporters.
