Tiny Alderney Fortification Plans Revealed for Channel Defense
Alderney, the Channel Islands’ second smallest, will be transformed over two years into a fortress to shield shipping in the English Channel and Bay of Biscay. A Royal Air Force base will host reconnaissance planes to patrol for submarines between Britain and the Mediterranean. Fortifications will defend the aircraft establishment, and about 1100 residents will surrender some farmland for defense. The base will be linked to Cherbourg by proximity, with aircraft patrolling the Channel to deter enemy vessels. The island’s strategic position, near France and England, supports the plan to close the channel to adversaries.
