Intermediate concrete fence posts and complete horizontal straining wires are put in position, awaiting installation of the chain link metal fence which is rolled out on the ground adjacent July 26, 2012. The base perimeter is being extended near the A1101 roundabout at the east end of RAF Mildenhall’s airfield in order to secure the building site. The field is being transformed into a taxiway extension and will provide extra room which allows swifter takeoffs for heavy aircraft. Currently, heavy aircraft have to back-taxi to the end of the overrun and turn around, which puts stresses both on the runway and the undercarriage of the aircraft.
