RAF Bentwaters
Closed maybe 10 years ago, devastated the local economy. Much written about the base especially re the UFO incident and its base commander. The accomodation has all been sold off to 'Housing Associations', the airfield site is still intact, and has been 'sold' several times to individuals. One Corporate Company wanted to use it as an International Freight Terminal (much like Alconbury is now being proposed), this was rejected by the local council due to noise pollution! Phantoms never made any noise! The hardened shelters are still intact, but there was one idea of digging up the runway and selling the debris off as ballast! There is a thriving B/W guestbook use Google as your search engine and Bingo.
RAF Woodbridge
Closed about the same time, but currently much of the base housing is being used by the Army from Wattisham and Colchester. The airfield is still 'used' for Army helicopters from Wattisham, I think this is probably retained by the MoD on a care and Maintenance basis, as the final decision has yet to be made on its future, talk is around here that the Army might be in there in a big way! Best view is from The Tangham Forestry road, where that 9000' runway that could take 6 A10's line abreast can be seen
