Julian has welcomed the US Department of Defense’s commitment to RAF Menwith Hill in a review of requirements for bases for US forces in Europe.
Operations at the Nidderdale site are unaffected by the review and it will remain an important base for the United States with American servicemen and women, and their families, continuing to play an important part in the local community as they have done for almost 60 years.
Julian said:
“I welcome the US commitment to RAF Menwith Hill, which is a reflection of the importance placed on the work of the Nidderdale base and its contribution to global security.
“American servicemen and women, and their families, who come to be based in North Yorkshire, are an integral part of the community and we will continue to give them a warm welcome, and our support, as they continue their vital work.”
