This view was taken from the south-western end of the SW/NE runway of RAF Great Massingham which was an active airfield during WW2.
RAF Great Massingham

RAF Great Massingham was opened in September 1940 as a satellite airfield for the nearby aerodrome at West Raynham and used by 100 Group RAF, Bomber Support. The flying field retains its concrete runways which are still being used by private aircraft, and the original perimeter track. A handful of buildings have survived on one of the aerodrome's dispersed sites. The station was closed in April 1946 and sold off in April 1958. It has since reverted back to agriculture.
