Potential purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the site boundaries. FORMER GAMA SITE, GREENHAM COMMON, NEAR NEWBURY, BERKSHIRE RG14 7HQ. ◆ Former Ground Launched Cruise Missile Alert and Maintenance Area ◆ SPV with freehold for sale, with full vacant possession, no rights of way or easements ◆ Gross site area extending to approximately 73.85 acres (29.89 hectares) ◆ Planning consent for the storage of over 6,000 cars. Suitable for alternative uses subject to planning and scheduled monument consent ◆ Probably the most secure above ground storage available in 6 former nuclear bunkers with additional hardened buildings totalling over 75,000 sq. ft ◆ Opportunity to own a site deemed of national importance Location Newbury is a prosperous Thames Valley town on the River Kennet, 16 miles west of Reading and 8 miles north-west of Basingstoke. The town benefits from its proximity to the M4 Motorway (junction 13, 4miles) to the North and 3 miles from A34 dual carriageway, a major north-south arterial route which can be accessed via the B4640 at Tothill Services. The M3 at Basingstoke is approx. 8 miles Southeast. The property is situated less than 2 miles to the south-east of Newbury town centre and was formerly part of RAF Greenham Common which is now disused. The majority of the former air field buildings now comprise the new Greenham Park Business Park a short distance to the east whilst the remainder of the airfield is now vested in the local authority, West Berkshire District Council. The property is accessed direct from the A339, Brackenhurst Lane via a shared roadway. Description The property comprises an irregular shaped site of 29.89 hectares (73.85 acres) which is broadly level, but includes a low lying area known as Drayton’s Gully. The site accommodates a large area of concrete hard standing and various surfaced roads servicing a number of underground stores, six triple silo surfaced bunkers and a number of other buildings. The bunkers are constructed with 1.5m thick reinforced concrete to the roof with 2.6m of sand above and were designed to protect against bomb blasts. Internally they are each split into 3 bays with hydraulic doors at either end which have been decommissioned. The doors are estimated to weigh approximately 25 tonnes each. The remainder of the site comprises scrubland, the whole being surrounded by a triple, part quadruple, boundary security fence. A small part of the site is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The site is designated as a Scheduled Monument (30905). Accommodation The property comprises the following approximate gross internal areas: Sq Ft Sq M Six Triple Former Missile Silos 39,548 3,674 Five Former Storage Bunkers 8,902 827 Former Underground Garage 6,588 612 Maintenance Shed 17,565 1,631 Former Store Shed 2,874 267 Former Guard Room, Entry Post and Garage 2,691 250 Total 78,168 7,261 History RAF Greenham Common, opened in 1941, was associated with many notable historic wartime events including operation Torch in 1943 (the invasion of North Africa), the D-Day landings in June 1944 and Operation Market Garden, the parachute drop to capture the bridge at Arnhem. In 1946 the base was closed and returned to Newbury District Council, but in 1951, with worsening international relations brought to a head by the Korean War, the heath was re-requisitioned and work began to reconstruct the base to receive USAF Strategic Air Command (SAC) Bombers. The remodelled form of the airfield with its long 3,048m single runway and concrete apron in front of the hangers, was the classic form for many post-War airfields. Throughout the remainder of the 1950s it was one of the four principal SAC airfields in Britain and B-47 Stratojets and their refuelling tankers were regularly rotated through Greenham Common; from 1958 a number were maintained on constant standby as part of the Reflex Alert Scheme. In April 1964 the airfield passed back to the RAF, but in 1968 the USAF again reoccupied it, this time as a standby base. Around 1980 Greenham Common was selected as one of six bases in Europe for the deployment of Ground Launched Cruise Missiles (GLCM), making the airfield a prime target for Soviet attack. It was at this time that the airfield received world-wide recognition, through the women’s peace camp and their opposition to escalation of the nuclear arms race represented by the introduction of GLCMs. The last GLCMs were withdrawn from Europe in mid-1991 under the terms of the intermediate-range Nuclear Force (INF) Treaty, signed in June 1988. RAF Greenham Common closed in 1992 although the GAMA site remains and is now considered of significant historical importance. Planning Planning consent exists for the storage of over 6,000 cars for 10 years. Tenure The subject site is held within an SPV. Further details are available on request. Services It is understood that some service infrastructure is on site. However, the external connections have been removed or sealed. VAT All offers should be exclusive of VAT which may be charged on the purchase price. Inspection The property may be inspected by prior appointment only through the Sole Selling Agent. Proposal We are offering for sale one of the most important cold war sites in existence in the UK. Given the highly secure nature of the site it is potentially one of the most secure above ground facilities available and could be suitable for a number of uses subject to the necessary consents. Uses include:- • Number 1 Cold War Attraction in Europe – Stonehenge, a monument with similar status attracts over 1m visitors annually • Ultra Secure Facility • Sunday Market • Car Storage & Auctions • Events – concerts • Filming and TV Work Substantial offers are invited for the freehold; consideration will also be given to letting of the whole or parts. Joint venture proposals will also be considered. Further information For further information, please contact: Shane Prater Quintons Tel: 01635 262 510 Email: [email protected] Crown Copyright 2012.

  • The Cold War and Beyond
    Contents Puge FOREWORD ...................... u 1947-56 ......................... 1 1957-66 ........................ 19 1967-76 ........................ 45 1977-86 ........................ 81 1987-97 ........................ 117 iii Foreword This chronology commemorates the golden anniversary of the establishment of the United States Air Force (USAF) as an independent service. Dedicated to the men and women of the USAF past, present, and future, it records significant events and achievements from 18 September 1947 through 9 April 1997. Since its establishment, the USAF has played a significant role in the events that have shaped modem history. Initially, the reassuring drone of USAF transports announced the aerial lifeline that broke the Berlin blockade, the Cold War’s first test of wills. In the tense decades that followed, the USAF deployed a strategic force of nuclear- capable intercontinental bombers and missiles that deterred open armed conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the Cold War’s deadly flash points, USAF jets roared through the skies of Korea and Southeast Asia, wresting air superiority from their communist opponents and bringing air power to the support of friendly ground forces. In the great global competition for the hearts and minds of the Third World, hundreds of USAF humanitarian missions relieved victims of war, famine, and natural disaster. The Air Force performed similar disaster relief services on the home front. Over Grenada, Panama, and Libya, the USAF participated in key contingency actions that presaged post-Cold War operations. In the aftermath of the Cold War the USAF became deeply involved in constructing a new world order. As the Soviet Union disintegrated, USAF flights succored the populations of the newly independent states.
