The most dramatic demonstration so far has been the rooftop occupation at the Menwith Hill base near Harrogate.

But trouble is also stirring at the Fylingdales early warning station on the North Yorkshire Moors, which campaigners say is also being expanded as part of America's plans.

And because the site is in a national park - the issue may end up in a public inquiry.
