High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! RAF Deopham Green is a former World War II airfield in England. The field is located near Deopham Green 2 miles north of Attleborough in Norfolk. Deopham Green was built in 1942 and 1943 for the USAAF and assigned the designation Station 142. After the war, the field was handed back to RAF Maintenance Command on 9 October 1945. Public roads, closed when construction started in 1942, were later re-opened, one of them using part of the old main runway, the airfield finally being closed on 1 January 1948. Over the years most of the buildings have been torn down and the airfield has been returned to agricultural use. However many of the runways and taxiways of the old airfield remain, albeit at a reduced width. There is a memorial on the side of the road running through the site, another outside Hingham Church and another at Attleborough railway station.
