  • La Royal Air Force Lyneham est une ancienne base aérienne de la Royal Air Force. Le site se trouve entre les villes de Chippenham et Swindon, dans le Wiltshire. La base ouvre en mai 1940. Elle assure, pendant le conflit, un rôle essentiellement tourné vers la maintenance et la logistique. Après-guerre, elle joue un rôle important dans le pont aérien de Berlin. À partie de 1967, les Lockheed C-130 Hercules de la RAF sont basés à Lyneham, renforçant l'importance de cette base pour le transport. Pendant la guerre d'Afghanistan (2001-2021), la base est souvent mentionnée dans l'actualité, comme point de liaison avec la ligne de front. La base aérienne est fermée en 2012. Le site conserve néanmoins une vocation militaire, utilisé par l'armée de terre. (fr)
  • Royal Air Force Lyneham otherwise known as RAF Lyneham (IATA: LYE, ICAO: EGDL) was a Royal Air Force station located 6.3 miles (10.1 km) northeast of Chippenham, Wiltshire, and 10.3 miles (16.6 km) southwest of Swindon, Wiltshire, England. The station was the home of all the Lockheed C-130 Hercules transport aircraft of the Royal Air Force (RAF) before they were relocated to RAF Brize Norton. RAF Lyneham was the Royal Air Force's principal transport hub, operating the modern Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules, and the ageing, but very adaptable, Lockheed C-130K Hercules. The airfield was designated as a Master Diversion Airfield: it was one of the primary airfields to which aircraft could divert in the eventuality of their home bases being closed due to weather, or other unforeseen events such as aircraft crashes. The airfield became renowned for being the "gateway" between the United Kingdom and Afghanistan; the station was also where repatriation of British personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan took place. The bodies were transported through the nearby town of Royal Wootton Bassett, with crowds lining the streets to pay tribute to the fallen. The station closed on 31 December 2012 with the majority of its personnel and other assets having moved to RAF Brize Norton. On 31 May 2011, a parade was held, attended by the Princess Royal, to mark the departure of the squadrons. The final Hercules left Lyneham on 1 July 2011. Daily flying operations ceased on 30 September 2011. The site is now known as Ministry of Defence Lyneham (or MoD Lyneham) and is home to the Defence School of Electro-Mechanical Engineering (DSEME).
