Lower Heyford Air Force Base

Lower Heyford Air Force Base was a Royal Air Force station located in Lower Heyford, England. It was also the garrison of the U.S. Air Force's 18th Reconnaissance Squad.

During Day 9, 18 RS First Lieutenant Chris Tanner was providing aerial support for Major Shepherd's convoy when his MQ-1 Predator was commandeered by someone else and used to fire a missile on the vehicles, killing four. Tanner was taken into custody and questioned by his superior Captain Greg Denovo, who informed him that the records on his flight key indicated that he had been responsible for the attack. Moreover, the investigators had found postings on a military forum - fabricated by Derek Yates - saying that Tanner intended to "put [Shepherd] down like the bitch he is." Tanner pleaded his innocence, but Denovo was unmoved. On James Heller's orders, Denovo and airman Ramirez escorted Tanner off the base to be interrogated in London by the Royal Military Police.

Background information and notes

 * In reality, there is no RAF base in Lower Heyford. The closest analogue is RAF Upper Heyford, a Royal Air Force station that was garrison for various branches of the United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) until its closure in 1994.
 * The exterior and hangar scenes at the airbase were filmed on location at RAF Northolt in South Ruislip, London.
