Airport guide

Wattisham Airfield (EGUW) is a medium airport in Ipswich, Suffolk, United Kingdom. It sits in Europe.

Wattisham Airfield is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.

Background from Wikipedia

Royal Air Force Wattisham or more simply RAF Wattisham was, between 1939 and 1993, the name of a Royal Air Force station located in East Anglia just outside the village of Wattisham, south of Stowmarket in Suffolk, England. During the Cold War it was a major front-line air force base, operating Quick Reaction Alert (South), before closing as an Royal Air Force station in 1993. Since 1993 it has been operated by the British Army as Wattisham Flying Station.
