The Armed Response Unit did seem to get there quite quickly…
On a related note, I see there’s a new End Blyton/Mick Herron book out…

Re: Major incident near RAF base
The report on the BBC suggests that the authorities were well aware of the planned attack.

This comes after large vehicles were parked behind the gates of the base on Wednesday, prompting residents to email the base's community liaison officer to ask what was going on.

Re: Major incident near RAF base
I blame tracking technology and smart phones.
Someone on the base got a text "the explosive parcels will be with you shortly, our drivers are 4 minutes away"

We've just received an update from Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) on yesterday's incident at RAF Fairford.
CTP says the five people arrested are all male in their early to mid-20s. All five are UK nationals from London.
