A concrete runway
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A concrete runway. View along one of the concrete runways which criss-cross the area; the buildings seen in the background (in adjacent grid square) date from the time when this was an active airfield. Langham airfield was opened at the beginning of WWII as a second satellite airfield for Bircham Newton. During its first two years of operation the airfield was fairly quiet with target towing and air-sea rescue operations being conducted together with some anti-shipping operations performed by a detachment of Fleet Air Arm Swordfish aircraft. In 1942 its status was raised to that of an independent station and for the next 16 months it was closed for a major expansion which included the laying of concrete runways, perimeter tracks and dispersals. Presently the former airfield is used as a poultry farm. One of the most important relics of its military past is the so-called Langham Dome > 1024546 - a former training facility, which still stands near the airfield. http://www.rafbnmp.org.uk/langham.htm |
