About The Brize Norton Files

Why this site exists

Six people are due to stand trial from 25 January 2027 over a protest at RAF Brize Norton. Much of the context behind the case, from the private contract that owns the planes to the base’s links with RAF operations over Gaza, is scattered across parliamentary answers, Freedom of Information responses, court rulings and flight-tracking data. This site brings that record together in one place, with every claim linked to its source.

Our editorial position is that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, as Amnesty International (December 2024) and a UN Commission of Inquiry (September 2025) have concluded, and that the British public has a right to know how the UK’s armed forces and defence contracts are connected to it.

Who we are

[Names, short biographies and relevant experience of the editorial team to be added. Named, accountable authors are one of the strongest signals of trust for both readers and search engines.]

Editorial standards

• Every factual claim links to a source. Where a source has no public link, we name it.
• We distinguish clearly between documented fact, allegation and analysis, and we say when the evidence does not support a claim, including claims made by campaigners.
• We do not state or imply that anyone facing trial is guilty or innocent. That is for the court.
• Quotes are reproduced exactly, with their source.
• We report what public bodies and companies have said in response, or that they declined to comment.

Corrections policy

If we get something wrong, we correct it promptly and say so. Corrected articles carry an updated date and a note at the end explaining what changed. To report an error, email us with the article link and the correction, ideally with a source.
