FAMILY EXPLORER AT RAF LUFFENHAM!

Wecome to RAF Luffenham a big thank you to ‎@ExploringwithAustinandThomas sharing this location with us 🤘Please check out their channel. Thank you to all subscribers
The station was built as a training airfield, opening in 1940. It was later taken over by 5 Group of RAF Bomber Command as a heavy bomber base and was expanded by the building of concrete runways later in the war.
In late 1955, No. 228 Operational Conversion Unit, temporarily renamed No. 238 OCU was detached to North Luffenham from RAF Leeming, which was having its runways extended to 7000 ft to accommodate Gloster Javelins. The OCU remained for over a year before returning to Leeming.
When the RAF vacated the base, the gates from the main entrance were donated to the village of North Luffenham. The gates that bear the station badge were later erected at the entrance to the village's recreation ground.
The station was taken over by the British Army and renamed St George's Barracks in 1998.
