Information. RAF Wyton was situated in Huntingdonshire. The site was used by the RFC during the first world war. In 1936 the base was rebuilt during the war it was home to teh Mosquitos, Blenheims and Lancasters of 3 Group Bomber Command. In the early 1950s the main runway was lengthened and strengthened, and Wyton became the home of the Strategic Reconnaissance Force. In the late 50's and early 60's Wyton was home to the reconnaisance and strategic nuclear V bombers, which were kept at constant readiness.
