- Fairford_Five abstract "The Fairford Five was a group of five British peace protesters who broke into the RAF Fairford military air base in 2003 and disabled equipment in order to disrupt military operations at the start of the Iraq War. The group was given its name by supporters and by articles in the press reporting on the event and the judicial trials which followed. Two members of the group had previously been members of Trident Ploughshares. The case which followed resulted in the first occurrence of a High court judge being called upon to pronounce on the legality of a war.On the night of March 13, 2003 the five protesters breached the perimeter fence of the RAF Fairford base using bolt-cutters, and once inside attacked instrument panels, brake cables and windscreens of support vehicles which were needed to supply the B-52 bombers due to fly that day. They used hammers and are also reported to have been carrying grinding-paste to put into fuel tanks. In their commitment to peaceful protest, two members of the group left notices on the damaged vehicles to warn operators and prevent an accident. They were discovered by a US serviceman, did not resist arrest, and were taken to Stroud police station. Their actions delayed the planned missions by a few hours, and caused £10,000 worth of damage.".
