RAF North Luffenham
RAF North Luffenham was a Royal Air Force station in Rutland, United Kingdom.
The station was built as a training airfield, opening in 1940. It was later taken over by 5 Group of Bomber Command as a heavy bomber base, and was expanded by the building of concrete runways later in the war. During the 1950s, the station was home to a number of Canadian squadrons.
From 1959 to 1963, North Luffenham was home to Thor intermediate range ballistic missles.
