I am assuming the edits I am making are for the article on RAF Greenham Common. This is my first time editing in Wikipedia. There was an alleged nuclear incident at Greenham Common with accusations that there was a U.S. bomber on the tarmac loaded with a nuclear weapon.

I'd like to correct this misconception. My father was stationed at Greenham Common at the time, and he told me about the incident. There was a fire followed by explosions and an aircraft burning. However, he told me there was no nuclear weapon onboard the aircraft. How did he know? My father, a major at the time, was in charge of the nuclear weapons depot.

My father explained that one of the aircraft participating in a training exercise was having problems and couldn't take off. The commander of the squadron of which the aircraft in question belonged asked that a nuclear weapon be brought on to the tarmac and be ready to load when the aircraft was ready to take off. My father refused to release a weapon until such time the aircraft was ready to take off. The fire and explosions occurred before a weapon could be released. My father told me this several times and his account never varied.
