Volvo XC70 intrusion at RAF Mildenhall, 2017
Google didn't find a mention of this here, readers might be interested -
https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/y...rly+Bird+Brief December 2017, an unnamed intruder in a black Volvo XC70 drives in past the gates at RAF Mildenhall and is chased around the site. At one point he's stopped behind a lieutenant colonel who's also driving a black XC70. When the lieutenant colonel proves who he is and is allowed to go on, the second guy goes on too - only trustworthy people drive Volvos? Later on the car is fired on, but no effect on the driver. Eventually they trap his car against a ramp for an aircraft, a V-22 Osprey. Also on BBC - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42401585 FWIW.
