Opened in the early days of the Second World War, Oakington
served as a bomber Station until being transferred to Transport
Command after the end of hostilities. Squadrons based there
took part in the Berlin airlift, but soon afterwards the airfield
became home to a Flying Training School. In 1974 the Army Air
Corps took over, and helicopters used the airfield for several years
until the army vacated the site in 1999.
