RAF Little Staughton


Royal Air Force Little Staughton or more simply RAF Little Staughton is a former Royal Air Force station located south of Great Staughton, Cambridgeshire and west of St Neots, Cambridgeshire, England.

Station history

The airfield was first handed over to the United States Army Air Forces in 1942.
RAF Little Staughton was returned to the Royal Air Force on 1 March 1944.
The airfield was placed into care and maintenance in 1945, and during the 1950s the United States Air Force extended the runway for use by jet aircraft in emergency circumstances. However, in the late 1950s they moved out.

Current use

The site is mainly for farming with the hangars used for various uses. In January 2020, Little Staughton Airfield and Industrial Park applied for planning permission to develop the site to re-open the airfield.
