The old air base at Bircham Newton originated from its initial use as a World War 1 airfield in 1918 before its expansion throughout the 1920s after it was retained by the RAF following the war. During the 1920s and most of the 1930s it remained a peacetime bomber base, before playing a pivotal role in World War 2 during the D Day landings in 1944. Over 500 men lost their lives during their course of service at the aerodrome. The base closed in 1962 and four years later was taken over by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB). Despite the grass runways soon disappearing, the buildings remained, including a pair of squash courts located behind the officers’ mess. The squash courts is where an intriguingly detailed paranormal event took place in 1970 when a CITB film unit began work on a management training film. It is one of many unexplainable experiences which have reputedly taken place at the old RAF base since its closure in 1962. The video will include historic tape recordings of real unexplainable audio phenomena.
