RAF Matlask
RAF Matlask became operational in October 1940, serving as a satellite station to RAF Coltishall. The airfield had two grass runways of 1,450 metres (1,600 yards) and 1,190 metres (1,300 yards) length respectively. The station was a place of constant change and home to a large number of units flying a wide range of aircraft, and about 2,500 RAF personnel were stationed here. The aerodrome was closed in October 1945. See also: Link
