During the early years of the war, Warboys was a relatively conventional bomber station which was supplemented with the addition of an exceptionally long main runway measuring 6,290 feet. Construction of this runway resulted in the closure of the nearby road to Huntingdon (Church Road) during the war years, necessitating the construction of a bypass road, still in use (2015) as part of the A141. The extension to the runway is still clearly visible, on Google Earth, as crop marks between the old and new roads.
The station was allocated to No.3 Group in August 1942. RAF Warboys became one of the original Pathfinder Force stations.
The construction of Warboys began in 1940. The airfield was built to relieve the congestion at RAF Upwood for the use of No. 17 Operational Training Unit (No. 17 OTU) with Bristol Blenheim's. The completion of barbed wire around strategic areas, and three AA gun positions with one Vickers gun, were almost finished by 17 May.

Thanks for showing us round 🙂 we have been to Upwood and Wyton but somehow wasn't aware of this place.

Thanks for watching. It's a shame there's not much left now of the places.

Must have been godawfully cold and damp in these places during winter. The sick-quarters crew was likely really cracking back in the day.

Thanks for watching, I would imagine it was as the windows are only one pain thick today we have double glazed windows and central heating.

My grandparents were based here. You say it is now a farm, do you need permission to enter?

Thanks for sharing, the part I walked is a public footpath it basically takes you around in a loop around the bomb store area I would say you need permission to walk on the farm side if you want walk part of the runway.
