The airfield was historically called RAF Bury St Edmunds, situated as it is to the North of Rougham village between what is now the A14 trunk road (formerly the A45).
The airfield was built between 1941 and 1942, and had three intersecting concrete runways. The main runway was approximately 2000 yards long, and ran in an East to West direction.
