RAF Hopton & Pakefield
(Preview)
This base was once in Suffolk and was part of the Home Chain RADAR Stations, I don't think there was an airfield here but its role was as important as Darsham and Bawdsey in the early warning detection system

(

)
(Preview)
The USAAF had this airfield for a short while in WWII operating Liberators and was placed on a care and maintenance basis after WWII, it was to be upgraded for USAF work in the 1950's but this never materialised.

I cannot remember a RAF Station here but there are still some old Blocks/Buildings near to the Bucklesham Road/A14 Road Junction, there used to be one in the middle of the field alongside the A14 just outside the periphery of Trimley St Martin I do know that a Radio/RADAR station was connected here to R...

The only thing I recall here is that well after the USAAF left the site the base was put into Care & Maintenance and that Bloodhound Ground to Air Missiles were based here I seem to remember an incident that someone once told me that after D-Day the USAAF took an extended flight to the Warsaw area and d...

RAF Darsham
(

)
(Preview)
Again this was like Hopton and Bawdsey and involves a Home Chain RADAR base, I was once asked if I knew anything about the history of Darsham, at that time I could not find out anything on the Internet. Someone did tell me that all that is left now are the concrete bases that supported the mastsÂ

Orfordness
