RAF Wratting Common (west Wickham)
About
RAF Wratting Common, at West Wickham in Cambridgeshire, opened in 1943 as a Bomber Command station in No. 3 Group. No. 90 Squadron flew Short Stirlings and then Avro Lancasters from it, No. 195 Squadron later flew Lancasters, and a heavy-conversion unit was also based there. The station closed in 1947, and the site has returned to farmland and woodland.
