The UK government has "removed" a number of top secret American installations from British Ordnance Survey Maps

Is that true or something a friend's neighbour said.

There are a number of decent web sites that you could find with a bit of research, that show three images for a number of installations - ordnance survey, Google Earth & local photo. The Ordnance survey map will show open countryside. The other two the secret installation.

I lived close to one of these places and know (as indeed do my neighbours and my friend's neighbours) that it is true. Now if I know, and my neighbours know and my friends neighbours know, and you appear to know them too, then are these bases secret. Presumably only the naive, or neighbours of friends of the naive, would believe that these places did not exist
