No ever talks about it.
The real secret one is in these parts is .... Fylingdales , only sheep get to go over the wire.
Now sat waiting for the knock at the door
Didn’t know about Fylingdales. Seems like a lot of North Yorkshire is more American than British. You can see the US flags flying in “RAF Menwith Hill” as you drive down the road outside!
Havn't you got that the wrong way round although yes their is UK presence at Menwith that no doubt includes GCHQ most of the cannot talk about stuff is USMenwith is our version of Fylingdales and part of GCHQ.
Fylingdales is very much American and staffed by the RAF. When you go past phones and cameras often go a bit funny
Give them a waveas all coms go’s via them anyway.

That’s my understanding, too. At Menwith the NSA use their connections with Tier 1 network carriers for their benefit and we benefit through “intelligence sharing”. Almost everyone and everything there is American.
There is lots of interesting material readily available thanks to Edward Snowden, and others have extended on it. There are some interesting fibre cable maps which show sleepy old Menwith as the king of all peering points, with lots of links down the west coast to Cheltenham.
