RAF Ingham

This is the general peritrack layout of RAF Ingham (or Cammeringham as it was
known later to avoid confusion with Ingham in Norfolk). The grass airfield is situated
some 1.5 miles north of RAF Scampton and was an operational station (300 (Polish)
Squadron) until it was decided to base No.1481 (Bomber) Gunnery Flight and
No. 1687 (Bomber) Defence training Flight here using the Miles Martinet drogue
target tug operated by pilots from 148 Squadron. Peter and the crews mid upper
gunner spent four days here detached from the crew who were at RAF Sandtoft with
1667 Heavy Conversion Unit. Both the gunners did four fighter affiliation sorties and
classroom work here to familiarize them with Luftwaffe tactics and to learn the
methods developed to defeat these German tactics.
