Bentwaters Aviation Society aims to record the history of the ‘twin bases’ of Bentwaters and Woodbridge and the people, units and aircraft that have been part of the history of the two bases.

If you were based at Bentwaters or Woodbridge, or lived in the area, or if you can help with any stories, photo’s or information on life or around at the bases, then we would very much like to here from you.

If you were in one of the many units and Squadrons that were based at Bentwaters and Woodbridge, or can help with the history of these units then again we would like to here from you.

If you can help us with any historical research, or if you have any questions that we may be able to answer or help with then please contact us

We are currently undertaking research to establish the identities and histories of all aircraft based at Bentwaters and Woodbridge

If you can help with any information, however little, then please contact us, and if you have any photographs of any aircraft that we could use copies of for museum displays then we would like to hear from you.

Did you visit one of the “Open House” events and have any pictures we could use, or aircraft information? Please contact us with any information, how ever little, as it all helps, thank you
