US Military leave second UK base.

I think the BBC may be reading far too much into this, if I recall correctly RAF Mildenhall was due to close,and it was announced a few years back.
Also their lead photo shows a KC-135 at Prestwick,Prestwick flights are unrelated to the Mildenhall closure.

Mildenhall has a NOTAM that the base is closed this week. It could be media over-reacting
