RAF Bodney - Norfolk, England |
![]() |
File Description:
Originally built as an RAF Bomber Command station the airfield was grass-surfaced and located on slightly rolling land with a hard surface perimeter track.
Initially it was used by aircraft of No. 21 Squadron RAF and No. 82 Squadron RAF (No. 2 Group) Bomber Command. They carried operations over France and later the Netherlands and even Norway. Their Bristol Blenheim IVs were joined on occasions by, in May 1941, 90 Squadron evaluating its new Boeing Fortress Mk 1s some Handley Page Hampdens for mining operations. 90 Squadron suffered heavy casualties and the use of the Fortress I was discontinued. Towards October 1942, the Blenheims were changed to Lockheed Venturas but the squadron moved on to RAF Methwold before the Venturas were operational.
RAF Bodney was transferred to the United States Army Air Forces in the summer of 1943. Placed under the jurisdiction of VIII Fighter Command of Eighth Air Force, it was primarily the home of the 352d Fighter Group, the "Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney". The unit briefly moved to Belgium in January 1945 due to the Battle of the Bulge, although it returned in April. It was closed after the 352d returned to the United States in November.

RAF Docking - Norfolk, England |
![]() |
File Description:
RAF Docking was a RAF Station of the Second World War a few miles from Bircham Newton in Norfolk.
It was a satellite airfield for the RAF Coastal Command station at RAF Bircham Newton and was mostly used for overflow from there. Opening in mid 1940 there no plans to use the airfield after the war and therefore the station was closed in 1945 and finally sold off in 1958.
This scenery is a representation of RAF Docking I am not claiming it to be in anyway an accurate reflection of the actual Station, however, I know the buildings I have used were in use at RAF Docking except for the B1 hangar, Docking had an A1 hangar. The station was so busy Drem lighting was installed to enable night operations to take place from the base.

RAF Hilbaldstow - Lincolnshire, England |
![]() |
File Description:
RAF Hibaldstow is a former Royal Air Force satellite airfield located south of Hibaldstow in Lincolnshire and 8.3 miles (13.4 km) south east of Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. The airfield was built with greater things in mind, but it only became a satellite airfield for RAF Kirton-in-Lindsey in 1941. When the runways were constructed, some of the hardcore was made from material taken from demolished bungalows on the site.
The airfield was commissioned on 12 May 1941 when No. 255 Squadron RAF took up residence with their Boulton Paul Defiant night fighters. These planes had been drawn from RAF Kirton-in-Lindsey and made one 'kill': an He 111 which was shot down near Louth on 5 June 1941.
On 6 August 1947 the station finally closed and during 1960-61 it was sold off for use as agricultural land. It was also used for Sunday markets, as a skid-pan by Lincolnshire Police and by a local parachute club. The control tower was converted to a two-storey house in 1976.

RAF Wellingore - Lincolnshire, England |

File Description:
This is my interpretation of the fighter station RAF Wellingore, in Lincolnshire. I have used a little poetic licence in placing the 8 L type blister hangers and the small technical area to the north west of the airfield, I hope you enjoy my effort. You will need to download (if you haven't already do so) scenery libraries by Ian Pearson and Ted Andrews which can be obtain from Ins website at www.ianpsdarkcorner.co.uk.
