Night Landing Ground (1916 to 1919)
51 [Home Defence] Sqdn (Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2s, B.E.12s & Avro 504Ks)
75 [Home Defence] Sqdn (Royal Aircraft Factory F.E.2b)
RFC/RAF Training Squadron Station and Training Depot Station, RFC/RAF (1917 to 1920)
Location: Roudham Road/Harling Road, therefore W of East Harling presumably next to the B1111
Period of operation: WW1+: 1916 to 1920. Reactivated briefly for use in WW2
Site area: WW1: 245 acres 1006 x 1006

NOTES: A WW1 hangar apparently still survives at this former WW1 TSS and TDS site.
I found some info that HARLING ROAD was used by C-47s as a base for supply drops after D-Day in 1944. Can this be confirmed and is anything else known?
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
