RAF Pocklington
RAF Pocklington was an operational flying station of the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, forming part of Bomber Command, and operating primarily Wellington and Halifax bombers. The station, adjacent to the town of Pocklington at , opened in 1941, and was closed in 1946.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pocklington )〕 After a return to agricultural use, the station now forms an industrial estate and a restricted use airfield for a gliding club.
==History==
Work started on RAF Pocklington in August 1940, with the design for grass runways, along with hangars, technical buildings and administration blocks. This was changed during construction to include three concrete runways. Late into the building of the three runways, it was realised that the runway 3 (07-25 at 1,300 yards) posed a threat to the nearby village of Barmby Moor, and so was abandoned in favour of a fourth runway (13–31 at 1,600 yards).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bomber Command – Pocklington )〕
Three hangars were originally constructed, and these were supplemented by two additional hangars constructed on the other side of the main A1079 road.〔
The station at RAF Elvington was originally built as a sub station of Pocklington, and along with RAF Melbourne became known as 42 base, within the 4 groups of Bomber Command.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=102 (Ceylon) Squadron )〕 Despite being the smaller station, RAF Elvington was operational long after the closure of Pocklington.〔
