The Americans who run the base never ever talk about personnel or what they do, however CIA representatives are amongst those who are stationed there.

Harry’s mom, Charlotte Charles, informed Sky News it was “the height of arrogance” for the US to anticipate it can be “business as usual” at RAF Croughton.

In an open letter she composed: “It appears to hold true that what is uppermost in the US federal government’s mind, so soon after Harry’s death, is to advance plans to broaden their operations at the base.

The US authorities have actually not discussed the proposed changes however a UK federal government representative firmly insisted: “This is not an expansion of RAF Croughton and will not increase the number of personnel based at the unit.”

Nevertheless South Northamptonshire MP Andrea Leadsom has actually protected an argument in parliament on what she explains as the “expansion” at the base.

The former conservative cabinet minister has actually backed the family’s campaign to enhance roadway safety around the base after a series of “near misses” including drivers stationed at Croughton.

Scott Lucas is teacher of international politics at the University of Birmingham. He states US intelligence has actually excessive bought Croughton for it to take much account of external factors to consider.

“When you have that much American money and power invested in a base it is going to be very difficult to pull back their plans,” he stated.

“This is one of the key positions not only for the US military, but for the US intelligence community, the electronic intelligence agency, the National Security Agency, the CIA, and other agencies connected with homeland security.”

Teacher Lucas stated there were “lots” of US spies based at Croughton. “There are CIA officers there and I’m not breaking any official secrets here, in truth it has actually been acknowledged as a US intelligence base for several years.

” That intelligence neighborhood is dealing with the military to act on it, possibly for a drone strike, possibly to watch on what the Russians are performing in Europe.”

Mother-of-three Anne Sacoolas is now dealing with her family back in the United States and has actually never ever spoken openly about the crash or the decision to run away.

In January the US declined the UK ask for extradition which the Office explained as a “rejection of justice”.
