High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! RAF North Pickenham is a former Royal Air Force base near North Pickenham, in Norfolk. It was originally opened in 1944 and finally closed in 1965. North Pickenham was constructed in 1943/1944 for the United States Army Air Forces Eighth Air Force as a heavy bomber base. It was assigned USAAF designation Station 143. With the end of military control, the airfield was developed into the site of a large turkey farm. None of the buildings on the airfields site itself remain. However, on some of the dispersed sites in and around North Pickenham Village a few of the wartime buildings can still be found, including the old headquarters block. A memorial stone in honor of the two Bomb Groups that flew from North Pickenham was dedicated during a 2d Air Division reunion in 1987. It is situated at the entrance to the old mess site, site 4. On 11 November 1990 a quartz clock was presented to the villagers of North Pickenham by the 492d Bombardment Group. It hangs in the sanctuary of the parish church. A plaque in the church at Metfield was dedicated in 1992.
