The USAAF operated P51 Mustangs out of Raydon during WWII. There used to be a fantastic fly in/airshow a few years ago, sadly no longer. I flew over what is left of the old airfield about 5 years ago with a pilot friend

At one time Republic P47 Thunderbolts were based here

One from Duxford a few years ago but I'm sure this could stir a few memories from those Dark Days
