| Langham opened at the beginning of WW2 as a satellite airfield for Bircham Newton. Its status was raised to that of an independent station during 1942, and the station closed for a major expansion, including the laying of concrete runways, perimeter tracks and dispersals.
It was put onto care and maintenance in 1947, but the airfield had a new lease of life during the RAF preparations for the Korean War, and it was later used as an emergency landing strip by RAF Sculthorpe, a large USAFE base nearby, but it was eventually closed in the early 1960s. It is now used as a poultry farm. The Langham Dome, a former training facility, still stands near the airfield. |
