The initial reports centred around Bentwaters RAF Station, located about six miles east of Ipswich, near the coast, while much of the subsequent action centres around Lakenheath RAF Station, located some 20 miles northeast of Cambridge. Sculthorpe RAF Station also figures in the account, but only to a minor extent; it is near Fakenham, in the vicinity of The Wash.”
