After running on stage, Biden began his speech by proclaiming "When I was 14..." before he became distracted by the standing crowd.

He gestured the large crowd to sit back down by saying "at ease" before joking "I keep forgetting I'm president".

In another gaffe, the 78-year-old referred to the RAF as the RFA.

"These partnerships have hardened and have been hardened in the fire of war and generations of Americans and service members who fought them. Like those RFA pilots," he blundered.

It came after the First Lady joked that her husband had to concentrate.

"Joe, pay attention," Jill Biden said.

During her address First Lady told the troops' families that they were as "crucial to our military as radar."

Jill Biden praised the military, praising its patriotism: "When you serve, your families serve too."

She called for a national security imperative and said the  RAF Mildenhall officials understood that.

During his RAF address, Biden choked up as he described his pride during his late son Beau's military promotion before praising the British military base.

"We have an awful lot of history at this base," he went on. "I'm sure everyone here knows the history."
