Royal Air Force Swannington or more simply RAF Swannington is a former Royal Air Force station located 1.9 miles (3.1 km) south of Cawston and 9.3 miles (15.0 km) north west of Norwich in Norfolk, England.
It was opened in April 1944, being developed from the estate of Haveringland Hall, and sold in 1957, though the Royal Air Force (RAF) left in November 1947.
The site is now used for agriculture, though evidence of concrete runways and buildings remains; it lies largely within the civil parishes of Brandiston, with St Nicholas' Church to the north of the site, and Haveringland, with St Peter's Church[1] close to one of the taxiways at the eastern end,[2] and Guton Hall and a river valley separating the area from Little Witchingham civil parish to the west.
[3] Both squadrons were temporarily moved to RAF West Malling to counter the V-1 flying bomb threat before returning in late August 1944 to re-commence bomber support operations.
Airframes which were beyond their sell-by date were towed to the dump and burnt after recovery of spare parts, including engines.
