I believe that if you were born in England that makes you a citizen. I think that because your parents are American that automatically makes you a dual citizen of England and the US. I am not completely sure of that, but I know that is how it worked my niece. Her mother is Japanese, but she was born in the US making her a duel citizen of Japan and the US. I have even hear of triple citizenship because the child was born in a country and one parent was one nationality and the other another nationality.
I also just read that you should not have renounced your British citizenship. The following is a great link that might help you to learn a little bit about about citizenship. At the bottom are links, so check those out as well.
Hope this helps!

If you were born in England, you are a British citizen. Since your parents are Americans, you could get American citizenship too but because you weren't born on American soil it is not automatic. If your parents never obtained American citizenship for you, then you're not an American. But based on your parents, you should get it with no problem - just need to get the appropriate paperwork filed.

To be a British citizen, one parent has to be British and married to the other parent when you were born( hence dual USA/British citizenship), you must also be able to prove British Ancestry as well. Since your parents are american you will be an American citizen only, according to current British citizenship rules. Check here for more-http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/

I am going to assume that your dad was USAF station in the UK, not an American in the RAF. You are an American citizen, but you'd have to check British law at the time to see if you have dual citizenship. I'm fairly sure that you are only American. There are thousands of Americans born at overseas military bases, but most don't have dual-citizenship. Also, in most cases of dual-citizenship, you must choose when you turn 18.

If you were born on a military base or US soil, such as an embassy you'd be a US citizen. Look into it. You might qualify for dual citizenship. Many Brits have both US and British citizenship.

Maybe, maybe not. If you were born at an American military base then you would be considered an American citizen because technically that's US soil.
