RAF Little Staughton

The airfield was first handed over to the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in 1942. • 1st Bomb Wing USAAF • No. 48 Group Communication Flight The airfield was placed into care and maintenance in 1945, and during the 1950s the United States Air Force extended the runway for use by jet aircraft in emergency circumstances. However, in the late 1950s they moved out. At some point the runway was shortened on the south end to the southmost taxiway with the land converted into a field. ==See also==

The site is mainly for farming with the hangars used for various uses. By December 2021 IAE had constructed a new hangar and re-opened half of the runway. There is also a solar farm and an industrial estate reusing the old airfield buildings. Because of the lack of redevelopment most of the Military Buildings remain including the control tower, the Airfield battle HQ, a T2 hangar and a variety of smaller buildings, some of which are in an area called 'little america' as it was the site of the American accommodation blocks, which is to the south of the airfield ==References==
