RAF Methwold was a bomber base in WW2 and was home to a number of different aircraft: Vickers Wellington, Lockheed Ventura, Short Stirling, Avro Lancaster, Airspeed Horsa and the North American Harvard. The airfield closed as an operational airfield in 1946 but was kept in care and maintenance until 1960 when it was eventually sold. Two of the hangars are still in use, although one has been reclad. The other, in its original state can be seen here
