The Ministry of Defence is aware of the United States Air Force plans to relocate the RC-135 Rivet Joint Mission from RAF Mildenhall to RAF Fairford by 2023. The estimated cost of the relocation and associated infrastructure works that will be required at the base is $43 million, and these costs will fall to the United States.
