RAF front-line operations are focussed on seven main operating bases (MOB's) -

  • RAF Coningsby, RAF Marham and RAF Lossiemouth (Air Combat)
  • RAF Waddington (Intelligence, Surveillance Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR))
  • RAF Brize Norton (Air Transport)
  • RAF Benson and RAF Odiham (Support Helicopter operating under Joint Helicopter Command)

Operations are supported by numerous other flying and non-flying stations, with activity focussed at RAF Honington which coordinates Force Protection and RAF Leeming and RAF Wittering which have a support enabler role.

Stations such as RAF Cranwell and RAF Valley form part of the UK Military Flying Training System which is dedicated to training air-crew for all three UK armed services. Specialist ground crew training is focused at RAF Cosford and MOD St. Athan.

The Control and Reporting Centre (CRC) at RAF Boulmer is tasked with compiling a Recognised Air Picture of UK air space and providing tactical control of the Quick Reaction Alert Force. In order to achieve this Boulmer is supported by a network of seven Remote Radar Heads (RRHs) and a Remote Radio Site (RRS) spread the length of the UK.

Ministry of Defence (MOD)

Several former RAF stations are still owned by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and are operated by QinetiQ in the test and evaluation role. The main facility providing this role is MOD Boscombe Down which still has a significant RAF presence.

A small number of former RAF stations, still owned by the MOD but no longer considered as stations, are regularly used by the RAF as relief landing grounds (RLGs) or training areas.

British Army barracks such as at Kinloss and Leuchars are listed as they perform a RLG role for the RAF.

RAF stations operated by the United States Visiting Forces

At the invitation of the UK Government, the United States has had military forces (US Visiting Forces) permanently stationed in the UK since the Second World War. The 1951 NATO Status of Forces Agreement and the Visiting Forces Act 1952, along with other bilateral acts, establishes the legal status of the USVF in the UK. Several military sites within England are made available for the USVF's purposes. An RAF commander is present at the main USVF sites and is normally of the rank of squadron leader, whereas a US colonel will normally command US personnel at each station. The role of the RAF commander is to liaise with the US base commander and act as head of establishment for Ministry of Defence employees. The use of UK bases for combat operations by the United States is a joint decision by both governments.[64]

The United States Air Force (USAF) 501st Combat Support Wing manages and supports operations at RAF Alconbury, RAF Croughton, RAF Fairford, RAF Menwith Hill, RAF Molesworth and RAF Welford.

In January 2017 the US Department of Defence announced through their European Infrastructure Consolidation programme that they would be withdrawing from RAF Mildenhall, and activities at RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth would be moved to RAF Croughton.[65] In April 2017 it was reported by the US European Command was reviewing the decision to close these stations.[66]

RAF stations and locations overseas

Permanent Joint Operating Bases

The UK operate Permanent Joint Operating Bases (PJOB's) in the four British Overseas Territories of Ascension Island, Cyprus, Falkland Islands and Gibraltar. The PJOB's contribute to the physical defence and maintenance of sovereignty of the British Overseas Territories and enable the UK to conduct expeditionary military operations.[83] Although command and oversight of the PJOB's is provided by Joint Forces Command, the airfield elements are known as RAF stations.[84]

Semi-permanent operations

The RAF have a semi-permanent presence at several overseas locations. Active military operations in the Middle East are supported by Expeditionary Air Wings which have been established at foreign airfields in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. The RAF have a presence within Eastern European countries on a rotational basis as part of the NATO's Baltic Air Policing and Southern Air Policing missions.

Two squadrons are located within the United States to support close cooperation with the USAF in the operation of the MQ-9A Reaper and development of the F-35A Lighting II.
