RAF Fairford: BBC speaks to farmer who called 999
Police are still questioning five men who were arrested close to RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire.
President Trump has claimed US and UK authorities had been working together to monitor a potential plot to attack the base. Despite that, it appears the arrests were made after a tip-off from a member of the public, a farmer who called the police to report suspicious activity.
Radio 4's Today Programme hears from that farmer and our security correspondent Frank Gardner.
