Greenham Common Air Base Fire Department

== History ==
=== Area Served ===
Royal Air Force Greenham Common or RAF Greenham Common is a former Royal Air Force station in the civil parishes of Greenham and Thatcham in the English county of Berkshire. The airfield was located southeast of Newbury, about 55 miles west of London. Opened in 1942, Greenham Common was used by both the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Forces during the Second World War and by the United States Air Force during the Cold War. After the Cold War had ended, the USAF returned RAF Greenham Common to the UK Ministry of Defence on September 11, 1992. On February 9, 1993, Greenham Common air base was declared surplus to requirements by the UK Secretary of State for Defence and the facility was closed and put up for sale. The Greenham Common Trust was formed in 1997 and the former airfield was designated as public parkland and became a business park opened to the public in 2000.
