RAF West Raynham

RAF West Raynham was a Royal Air Force station located to the west of the village of West Raynham in Norfolk, England. It opened in the 1930s and closed in the 1990s. The airfield and technical site remain the property of the Ministry of Defence but the site is currently disused and falling into disrepair.

Notable units based at RAF West Rayham include:

  • 85 Squadron of RAF 100 Group with the De Haviland Mosquito during World War II.
  • The tripartite Hawker Kestrel training and evaluation unit (the Kestrel was the forerunner to the successful Harrier Jump Jet).

The last units to operate at RAF West Raynham were a RAF Regiment Rapier Short Range Air Defence Missile Unit and 85 Squadron with long range Bloodhound surface to air missiles.
