Features
North Weald Airfield Museum is a registered charity (No. 1081157), run and staffed by volunteers. The airfield opened in 1916 to defend London against German airship and bomber raids during the First World War; operational flying ceased in 1919 but resumed in 1927 when it became an RAF fighter station again. More than 52 squadrons from seven nations, including the U.S. and Norway, flew from the base before the last operational fighter squadron left in 1958. Its role in the Battle of Britain brought the community into the firing line, and during enemy raids many bombs fell on North Weald village and surrounding areas. Read more.
