RAF Brize Norton is an air base in Oxfordshire about 50 miles west of London, England, United Kingdom. It is home to the Royal Air Force's heavy transport aircraft, the C-17 Globemaster III, and its Tristar and Vickers VC10 tankers.

With the arrival of the Globemaster (C-17 in USAF service) and the future Airbus A400M the base has an assured future. With the closure of the home of the C-130 Hercules, RAF Lyneham the RAF's transport fleet will be further consolidated at Brize Norton.

The RAF's Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft, currently envisaged to be a fleet of Airbus A330 MRTTs, will be based at Brize Norton.
