- This article needs an update. Bentwaters is not closed. The airfield is very much open and it hosted its first airshow the weekend of May 14, 2010, with many performing and static display aircraft and thousands of visitors. Flybd5 (talk) 20:50, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Uncredited TV use
editI suspect that this was the site used to film the Charlier Brooker Black Mirror Series 2 episode 'White Bear'?
The whole thing looked like an ex USAF/RAF base complete with section housing and the givaway was UK and US sockets in some of the rooms! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.166.0.129 (talk) 07:18, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
USAAF Station 151 is not RAF Bentwaters
editUSAAF Station 151 Butley (Bentwaters) is indeed listed in 'Army Air Forces Stations' (WWII) by Captain Barry Andersen, USAF Historical Research Center, published 31 January 1985.
However... it is listed purely as an 'Emergency Landing Ground', and identified as 'Butley', a village mid-way between RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge. And now the penny drops.... because it is RAF Woodbridge that is the Emergency Landing Ground (ELG), not Bentwaters. I don't suppose crews returning with a damaged aircraft cared two cents what it was called; that extra wide runway was beautiful to them.
