High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! RAF Leiston is a former airfield in the United Kingdom. The airfield is located 1.5 kilometers northwest of Leiston and a kilometer south of Theberton at 52°13 N 01°33 E / 52.217°N 1.55°E / 52.217; 1.55 in Suffolk. Originally intended as a fighter base for RAF Fighter Command, RAF Leiston airfield was allocated to the U.S. Eighth Air Force on September 22, 1942 and designated Station 373 (LI). The airfield was constructed to Class A airfield standards between September 1942 and September 1943 by John Mowlem and Company Ltd. and first occupied by the USAAF in October 1943. Leiston's proximity to the coast meant that the airfield was used on many occasions by battle-damaged aircraft returning from operations over Europe. The first aircraft to land on the airfield - while it was still under construction - are believed to have been two B-17 Fortresses which were returning from operations on July 30, 1943. One aircraft nearly hit a contractor's vehicle when coming in to land as some of the runways were still partly obstructed by tree stumps and other materials.
