Site 5 - the former Sick quarters
Site 5 used to be the location of the Sick quarters of RAF Attlebridge (USAAF Station 120). No buildings remain but the concrete trackways are still in place, in agricultural use these days.
RAF Attlebridge (USAAF Station 120)
The Attlebridge aerodrome, named after the nearest railway station, was initially built for the use by No. 2 Group RAF (light bombers). It was completed in August 1942 and used by No. 88 Squadron RAF from August 1941 to September 1942. On 30 September 1942, Attlebridge was assigned to the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) Eighth Air Force's 2nd Bomb Wing and given the USAAF designation of Station 120.
From March 1944, the airfield was used by the 466th Bombardment Group (Heavy) which flew its last mission in April 1945. After the war, the airfield was placed under care and maintenance before being closed in 1950. It was sold during 1959-62 and the runways have since been used for extensive poultry rearing operations.
