RAF Brampton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

RAF Brampton is a Royal Air Force station near Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire. Formally the home of RAF Support Command, it now houses several elements of the Defence Logistics Organisation (DLO), and provides a base for the Defence Security Standards Organisation and the RAF Infrastructure Branch (East Region).

The station is also home to JARIC - The National Imagery Exploitation Centre, which produces intelligence from all forms of imagery, and provides trained and experienced Service personnel to provide intelligence in support of operations.

Administratively Brampton is now part of the combined base RAF Brampton Wyton Henlow. Brampton has no airfield, but both Wyton and Henlow do. Wyton is used by University Air Squadrons flying the Grob Tutor and Henlow is leased out as a general aviation airfield. Wyton is also the main base for the DLO.
