High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! RAF East Wretham is a former World War II RAF Station airfield in England. The field is located near East Wretham 6 miles NE of Thetford in Norfolk. East Wretham airfield was hurriedly brought into service during the early years of World War II with No. 311 (Czech) Squadron transferring from RAF Honington on 29 July 1940. The squadron operated from the airfield until April 1942. Later, RAF Bomber Command No. 115 Squadron RAF, operating Vickers Wellington Mk IIIs and later Avro Lancasters, occupied the airfield from November 1942 until the USAAF took it over in 1943. Initially after the war ended, the field was used by the RAF as a Polish resettlement camp. With the refugees resettled by 1946, East Wretham was closed as an active airfield and became part of the British Army's Stanford Practical Training Area.
