Aerial view
Note: This picture (2007) was obtained from Google Earth ©
As can be seen, nothing appears to remain of this WW2 airfield. Which in itself is quite unusual. As a general rule some features can usually be made out.
Military users: WW2: RAF Coastal Command 16 (GR) Group
304 (Polish) Sqdn (Vickers Wellingtons)
23 Group
1525 BAT Flt
Location: NE of Docking village, east of the B1153 and roughly 10nm NW of Fakenham
Period of operation: 1940 to 1958
Runways: NE/SW 1582 grass E/W 1280 grass
N/S 1006 grass
NOTES: It appears the Fakenham Flying Group were operating at least one aircraft, the Tiger Moth G-ANCS, from here before and during 1957. They then transferred to LITTLE SNORING in late 1957. It seems they didn’t stay long, moving on to FOULSHAM probably in early 1958?
