High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! RAF Station Weston Zoyland is a former World War II airfield in Somerset, England. The airfield is located approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) east-southeast of Bridgwater; about 125 miles (201 km) west-southwest of London. Opened in 1944, it was used by both the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Force. During the war it was used primarily as transport airfield. After the war it was used as a reserve RAF Fighter Command airfield until 1958. Today the remains of the airfield are a mixture of farmland and a base for Civil Air Patrol activities. Weston Zoyland airfield originated in the mid-1920s as a landing ground, being in use by 1926 for drogue tugs using the anti-aircraft gunnery range off Watchet in the Bristol Channel. At first, it was no more than an extended cow pasture, subject only to seasonal use until the Second World War loomed, when the site was occupied on a permanent basis. During the pre-war years, buildings were erected piecemeal as required and the landing ground area gradually enlarged but, with the fall of France, Weston Zoyland was no longer a backwater airfield.
