The airfield at Grafton Underwood was opened in 1941
In the 1945 film The Way To The Stars, footage of B-17 Flying Fortresses from the 384th landing and taking off in April and May 1945 was filmed at RAF Grafton Underwood
After being decommissioned the air field was used to house military vehicles and later used for public car auctions. however closed on February 1st 1959.
It has mostly returned to nature with most of the concrete runways being taken over by woods but a few buildings remain.
There is a public footpath located very close so you only have to make a slight detour to find these buildings and access was very easy.
