Royal Air Force Pocklington or more simply RAF Pocklington was an operational flying station of the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, forming part of RAF Bomber Command, and operating primarily Vickers Wellington and Handley Page Halifax bombers.

Work started on RAF Pocklington in August 1940, with the design for grass runways, along with hangars, technical buildings and administration blocks.

[3] The first occupants of the site in 1941 were the Royal Canadian Air Force unit of 405 squadron, operating Wellington bombers for 84 raids in eleven months, during which 20 aircraft failed to return.

[2] Following the closure of the station, it was mostly returned to agricultural use, with the hangars used as grain stores,[2] but subsequently the technical area became an industrial estate, and a large number of buildings still stand.

[6] One of the original runways is still in use by the Wolds gliding club, who secured the lease to the airfield in 1971,[7] and purchased it outright from the land owner in 1983.
