Bentwaters Airfield, once a bustling hub of military aviation history, is now a tranquil expanse of forest and heathland in Suffolk, England. This former Royal Air Force station was home to various iconic aircraft such as the North American F-100D & F Super Sabre, McDonnell Douglas F-4G Wild Weasel (69-7212), Lockheed F-104G Starfighter (21+67), Northrop F-5B Freedom Fighter (69241), Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II (77-0259), and General Dynamics F-111E (68-0055). The forested IP27 9 map once bore witness to the roar of these powerful machines, their shadows dancing on the English countryside. Today, Bentwaters stands as a testament to the past, a reminder of the brave men and women who defended freedom in the skies.
