Fairford seems to regularly cycle from active to stand by. it's hardly been 'active' in the sense of lots of planes flying in an out all day (such as Brize / Lynham) for a while.
Used to see the B-1 bombers go into / out of Fairford during the gulf wars, way cool. An Iraqi with a shotgun would have had a good chance of potting one from the perimeter road.
