Two Voyager planes were damaged at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, on June 20.
The action, which was claimed by the group Palestine Action, caused £7 million worth of damage to the aircraft.
The Government moved to proscribe the group under anti-terror laws after the group claimed responsibility.
Four people were charged last month in connection with the incident.
One woman who was arrested remains under investigation on police bail and one man previously arrested was released without charge.

Harry left ‘devastated' by boardroom battle at his charity Sentebale
On Tuesday, the Charity Commission published a report into the episode criticising all sides for making the fallout public with interviews and statements, but the war of words has continued. The Duke of Sussex with Sentebale chairwoman Dr Sophie Chandauka, during a fundraising polo match for Sentebale (Yaroslav Sabitov/PA) Sentebale appeared to suggest allegations made by Dr Chandauka of bullying, harassment and misogyny at the charity – which the commission found no evidence of – may be pursued against individuals through 'avenues more appropriate'. A source said: 'This has been emotionally absolutely devastating for Prince Harry and (Sentebale co-founder) Prince Seeiso (of Lesotho). What's been perpetrated over the last few months is nothing short of a hostile takeover.' Seeiso also stepped down as patron of the charity which works in Botswana and Lesotho supporting the health and wellbeing of young people, especially those with HIV and Aids. The source added: 'You have to remember Prince Seeiso and Prince Harry started this charity nearly two decades ago to honour the work and continue the legacy of their mothers Queen Mamohato and Princess Diana, and the work that they had done in southern Africa to support those living with HIV and Aids. 'In the 19 years that they have worked with this charity, and a lot of the former board of trustee members, they have raised tens of millions of pounds and distributed tens of millions of pounds.' Prince Seeiso of Lesotho resigned as patron alongside Harry during the boardroom battle (Andrew Matthews/PA) The commission criticised all parties in the dispute for allowing it to play out publicly and described how all trustees contributed to a 'missed opportunity' to resolve the issues that led to the serious disagreement which risked undermining public trust in charities generally. The regulator, which cannot investigate individual allegations of bullying, found no evidence of systemic bullying or harassment, including misogyny or misogynoir at the charity but acknowledged 'the strong perception of ill treatment' felt by some involved. After conducting its regulatory compliance case the commission issued a Regulatory Action Plan with Sentebale saying it had complied with the steps, from implementing an internal dispute policy to improving the charity's complaints and whistle-blowing procedures. The trustees who resigned said in a statement they were 'gravely concerned for the future of the charity' adding they were 'disheartened' by the way the regulator had 'chosen to ignore key concerns and irrefutable evidence raised with them regarding the leadership and oversight of Sentebale's chair'. Sentebale said in statement: 'The Charity Commission is explicitly clear, including in its public guidance, that it is not the commission's responsibility to adjudicate or mediate internal disputes. This would include individual allegations of bullying, harassment, misogyny, misogynoir etc. Harry was presented with an embroidered traditional blanket by Lesotho's Prince Seeiso in 2010 (PA) 'As a result, the commission has not investigated any individual allegations and therefore has not made any findings in relation to individuals, including Prince Harry. 'The issues not investigated by the commission can and may be dealt with through avenues more appropriate than the commission.'

Blunder reveals UK hired foreign contractors for Gaza spy mission
The British military is hiring American contractors to carry out secret spying missions over Gaza for Israel because of a shortage of RAF aircraft. Ministry of Defence sources have told The Times that the government is paying a company based in Nevada to look for hostages. A 'schoolboy' error meant that the flight path of the US aircraft, registered as N6147U and used on behalf of the UK government, was made publicly available so it could be seen flying over the largely destroyed city of Khan Yunis in July. The RAF's Shadow R1 aircraft has recently returned to the UK, probably for maintenance, after filming hundreds of hours of activity in Gaza. The intelligence was shared with Israel, which the British government said was for the purpose of locating hostages.

On-the-run criminal who murdered dog walker only caught after making key mistake
Roy Barclay was found guilty of murdering the grandmother (Image: PA) A fugitive who managed to evade the police after he brutally killed a dog walker was eventually caught after making one key mistake. Roy Barclay, 56, had been on-the-run and living off-grid to avoid the cops for two years when he viscously attacked grandmother Anita Rose, 57. The murderer struck the 57-year-old with "numerous kicks, stamps and blows" as she walked her beloved springer spaniel Bruce in Brantham, Suffolk, on July 24, 2024. At the time of the attack, Barclay had been on-the-run to avoid recall to prison over a breach of his licence conditions. The evil fugitive managed to evade cops again for three months after the horror crime but was eventually caught due to one piece of information the criminal gave out. He was sentenced to a minimum of 25 years in jail today.

The criminal attacked pensioner Leslie Gunfield in 2015, leaving him with serious head injuries, after he told Barclay he would inform security about him going through rubbish bins at a Co-op supermarket. After his release in January 2020, the attacker shaved his head and lived in hidden makeshift camps with no fixed address. A recall notice for the attacker was the issued when he made himself homeless, which breached the terms of his licence. Roy Barclay had attacked a 'helpless' pensioner 10 years ago in a similar attack (Image: Suffolk Police) He avoided the police for two years, while posting hundreds of local Google Maps review under his name and even using his bank card. His vanishing act came to an end in October 2024 when Det Con Barry Simpson spotted the criminal on a local bridge and stopped to speak to him after thinking he looked like the wanted man. Det Con Simpson said he started to become more suspicious due to the man's "nervous" and "anxious" behaviour. The fugitive gave the officer a fake name and address but handed over his real phone number, which would eventually lead to his arrest. Suffolk Police was able to run this number through their system and confirm his identity. Anita and her dog Bruce before she was attacked (Image: PA) Police released bodycam footage of them arresting Barclay at Ipswich County Library on suspicion of murder. The fugitive denied murder but he was found guilty following a trial at Ipswich Crown Court. On Wednesday, the murderer was jailed for life with a minimum term of 25 years. Judge Martyn Levett described Barclay as "someone prone to dangerous outbursts at the slightest confrontation" who'd refused to explain the "horrific violence" of his attack on Anita. The victim's heartbroken family shared emotional statements to the court. CCTV footage of Barclay walking where Anita had walked her dog (Image: PA) Her partner Richard Jones spoke of how he and the grandmother had "planned to grow old together". He said: "It only started to feel real when she was no longer here and the court case progressed. I've had to hear about awful injuries my Anita was subjected to... hearing what I have heard haunts me and continues to haunt me."
