Full Description
Decoy airfield K for West Raynham 1939 to 1945. Dummy Blenheims used, and flare paths.
Information from Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum.
(S1) also states there was a Q25a decoy at Fulmodeston, the site of which is unknown. Same site?
E. Rose (NLA), 12 May 1998.
It is stated locally that a barn at Croxton Farm (NHER 30280) was destroyed by bombs meant for the decoy, and that the 1930s council houses at TF 9847 3110 were damaged in this way.
E. Rose (NLA), November 2005.
