RAF Woodbridge
About
RAF Woodbridge opened in Suffolk in 1943 as an emergency landing ground, its exceptionally long and wide runway built to take battle-damaged bombers struggling home from raids over Germany — more than four thousand aircraft made emergency landings there by the end of the war. Reopened in the 1950s, it became a major United States Air Force base, twinned with nearby Bentwaters and home to A-10 attack aircraft, until 1993. It now serves the Army as MOD Woodbridge and Rock Barracks.
