B-2 Stealth Bomber

I have reason to believe there is either - One is stationed at USAF Fairford, or it is used as a stopping point during or after missions.

The B-2 Stealth Bomber is based out of Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, USA. However, a new transportable hangar system has been developed which allows the B-2 to be deployed to forward locations overseas.

The hangars are 126ft long, 250ft wide and 55ft high. The first of these hangars has been erected on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Prior to this development, B-2s have had to return to Whiteman AFB after missions, for maintenance of the aircraft's stealth features.

There is a Hanger of the same description and visual appearance at USAF Fairford!

Yeah in 2000-2001 Fairford had this done to hold the B-2s and the nuclear facilities. Nothing it stationed at Fairford it's a standby base for the USAF. Oh and also the RAF used it when Brize had a jobbie. Deplyoments are KC-135s and other stuff from Mildenhall as and when needed, B-1bs and B-52s ?H i beleve? as it saves them going all the way from West Side over the pond and over Europe.

Well have to say your idea does make perfect sense.
