This RAF base was a Royal Air Force station situated near the a small village in Yorkshire.
It was first opened in 1918, before closing in early 1920. In 1935 a new airfield was built for the RAF, however on 15th August 1940, the site suffered extensive damage from a huge raid by German bombers during the Battle of Britain. The airfield closed for repairs, reopening in early 1941.
After the war, the RAF continued as a training base, even becoming home to nuclear missiles aimed at Russia during the height of the Cold War.
The base eventually closed in 1977, after which the British Army made use of the old runways as a driving school.
The majority of the 31-hectare site was sold by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to Omnivale Ltd in 2007, with the MoD keeping part of the site fronting the A614 for the regional cadet headquarters.
As of 2020, plans to build 360 residential homes on the site were put forward and are currently being considered.
