RAF Rufforth for FS2002 and CFS2
RAF Rufforth for FS2002 and CFS2 by Mike Dews Rufforth was one of 20 airfields built in Yorkshire when the RAF bombing campaign against Germany gathered force in 1941. At Rufforth 600 acres of farm land was compulsorily purchased. The base was used by Halifax’s of 7 Group Bomber Command until February 1943 when the last raid was launched. It then became an OCU unit until the end of WW2 when RAF use was wound down. Most of the land has now been returned to local farmers and a local gliding club is now based there.
