RAF Middle Wallop
England
About
RAF Middle Wallop opened in Hampshire in 1940 and became one of the key fighter stations of the Battle of Britain, its Supermarine Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes — including those of Nos. 609 and 238 Squadrons — defending the south-west against the Luftwaffe. Later in the war it flew night-fighter Bristol Beaufighters and de Havilland Mosquitoes and was used by the United States Ninth Air Force as Station 449 for reconnaissance. Since 1957 it has been the home of the Army Air Corps; the airfield now flies Apache and other helicopters and houses the Army Flying Museum.
