History
Royal Air Force West Raynham, or more simply RAF West Raynham, is a former Royal Air Force station. The airfield opened during May 1939 and was used by RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War with the loss of 86 aircraft. The station closed in 1994, though the Ministry of Defence (MoD) retained it as a strategic reserve. Having lain derelict since closure, the station was deemed surplus to requirements by the MoD in 2004 and has been in private hands since. The technical area now operates as a business park with many buildings now reused.
