This listing is for a 501st Tactical Missile Wing - RAF Greenham Common Mug/Stein.

The 701st was redesignated as the 501st Tactical Missile Wing on 11 January 1982 and consolidated with the 501st Bombardment Group. It was activated on 1 July 1982, at RAF Greenham Common, England, to operate the Gryphon (BGM-109G) Ground Launched Cruise Missile (GLCM). The 501 TMW was inactivated on 31 May 1991 after ratification of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty resulted in decommissioning of the BGM-109G. The USAF\'s first GLCM wing when it stood up, it was the also the last GLCM wing to be inactivated.

RAF Greenham Common is a former Royal Air Force station in the civil parishes of Greenham and Thatcham in the English county of Berkshire. The airfield was southeast of Newbury, about 55 miles west of London. Opened in 1942, it was used by the United States Air Force during the Second World War and during the Cold War, and later as a base for nuclear weapons. After the Cold War ended, it was closed in September 1992.

The mug is in excellent condition, no chips, cracks, or chigger bites. There is some discoloration at the bottom of the mug (see photo). I can’t tell what it is and I can’t get my fingers in to feel it.

Approximate measurements: 8⅛ inches high, 5¼ inches wide (including handle), 3 inches in diameter at the top, and 4⅝ inches in diameter at the base. It weighs approximately 2 pounds.

This item is being stored in a smoke-free home.
