• The RAF considered building an airfield here in the 1930s, but it was passed over for more favorable grounds. WIth the growth of Bomber Command the idea for an airfield was resurrected in 1940. The gradients in the area made a bomber airfield unsuitable. In May of 1942, the Wellingtons of No. 199 Squadron arrived. The field was sandwiched between the A15 and the B1398 and close to Ingham village. In January, 1945, the airfield was placed in reserve, although the Polish Air Force still operated here until the next year.
   
• The field was known as RAF Ingham, but the name was eventually changed to RAF Cammeringham in 1944 after spare parts wee mistakenly shipped to Ingham, Norfolk and Ingham, Suffolk.
