Ouston today
RAF Ouston is now Albemarle Barracks and home of 39th Regiment Royal Artillery, the runway area is used by the police for driver training. It is also reported that C-130 Hercules have occasionally landed there. Many of the World War II buildings survive.
Since the 1980s Albemarle has often been used as a stop off point for nuclear warheads convoys on route via road between RNAS Coulport and AWE Aldermaston as part of the UK Trident programme. There is a secure compound located on one of the former runways to keep convoys overnight when required.[1]
