According to files released by the US Justice Department, the late pedophile’s jet landed at British military airfields
British Defense Secretary John Healey has ordered a probe into whether deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women into the UK using Royal Air Force (RAF) bases.
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has demanded a police investigation into whether King Charles’ brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, used taxpayer funds and British airports to meet the convicted sex offender. Last week, the ex-Prince was briefly arrested on suspicion of misuse of public office, amid renewed scrutiny into his close ties to Epstein.
On Thursday, Healey told officials to “leave no stone unturned” to search through decades of Defense Ministry files to find links to the pedophile’s private jet, according to the Telegraph.
“We will ruthlessly pursue any information that can shed light on this scandal,” the newspaper cited a ministry source as saying.
While RAF flight logs are scrubbed after three months, it is thought that communications between officials and private travel companies could reveal more about Epstein’s movements, the Telegraph wrote.
According to flight logs contained in the Epstein files released by the US Justice Department last month, the sex offender’s plane previously landed at two military bases, RAF Northolt and RAF Marham.
In one filing, Epstein confirms that former Prince Andrew facilitated his use of RAF Marham and RAF Horsham bases. According to the flight log for a plane linked to the disgraced financier, it was allowed to land at Marham in 2000, with both Epstein and passengers on the way to visit the royal family’s Sandringham Estate, which is around 20 miles from the base.
One passenger is only identified as “1 female,” a description reportedly used by Epstein to indicate a person being sex trafficked.

He maintained a relationship with the sex offender long after his 2008 conviction on charges of procuring a child for prostitution.
