Information. RAF Ossington was situated just west of the village of Ossington in Nottinghamshire in teh grounds of Ossington Hall, with the Hall itself forming part of the accomodation. Constructed as a standard bomber airfield with three concrete runways during 1941, it was transferred to 93 Group Flying Training Command soon after opening in January 1942. In May 1943 the airfield was returned to Bomber Command. It closed in 1946 and today almost all the airfield buildings have vanished, the Hall having been demolished in the 1960's.
